Watch The Nanny Diaries For Free

Fresh and Exciting

A Masterpiece!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson) is a recent college graduate who can't settle on what to do except she wants to be in New York. When she rescues a kid from getting run over, the Jersey girl gets quickly snapped up by the boy's Upper East Side mother Mrs X (Laura Linney). At first the boy is a brat, but soon he's clinging to Annie. The mother is a control freak. The father (Paul Giamatti) is an absentee cheater. And the upstairs neighbor Harvard Hottie (Chris Evans) wouldn't take no for an answer.The whole idea of no names is very distracting. It's a terrible gimmick that keeps bothering me every time these stupid no-names names pop up. The sad thing is that there is probably a touching story underneath this. But the gimmick constantly keeps the audience at an arm's length. Scarlett is an absolute charmer. She salvages something from this movie.

An engaging study of Upper East Side manners from the POV of a Jersey girl. Everything is wrong with the hiring couple, and Annie (Scarlett Johanssen) goes through hell with them, while falling in love with their little son Grayer (Nicholas Art), who reciprocates. Upshot? Mrs X fires Annie on all-false charges. Annie storms back to the flat overlooking Central Park and gives Mrs X a lecture on the "nanny-cam" installed in her bedroom. Six months later she gets a heartfelt thank-you letter from Mrs X, who has left her husband and minds Grayer full-time. Yes, it's a fantasy story, complete with imagery expressed in Smithsonian-type show cases. It's well-written, not too long, and excellently directed, with a strong performance from Johannsen, backed up by Laura Linney as the horrid Mrs X. Good watching for a couple.

THE NANNY DIAIRIES is a saccharine and annoying comedy that tries to incorporate touches of whimsical fantasy that don't really work. The film stars Scarlett Johansson as Annie Braddock (Why are female movie characters always named Annie, not Ann? I've never known an Ann in my life who likes to be called Annie), a recent college graduate who stumbles into a job as a Nanny for the child of an unhappy, upwardly mobile couple residing on Manhattan's lower east side. The predictable story finds Annie initially hating the position but soon unable to leave because she doesn't want to leave the child alone with his dysfunctional parents. The film suffers from pedestrian direction and a screenplay that tries WAY too hard to be cute and smart, most notably Annie's obnoxious Carrie Bradshaw-like narration that really grates on the nerves. Johansson's lifeless performance in the starring role doesn't help either...the camera loves Johansson but this is performance completely devoid of anything resembling comic timing. Johansson looks embarrassed just being involved in this debacle. The supporting cast is first rate though...Laura Linney's crisp performance as the boy's mother is perfection as is Tony Winner Donna Murphy's turn as Annie's mother and Grammy winner Alicia Keys as Annie's best friend. It cannot be denied that Nicholas Art is adorable as Annie's young charge and hunky Chris Evans is wasted as a romantic interest. It's SEX AND THE CITY meets MARY POPPINS and it just doesn't work.

This film was beautiful and stars was successful.Film's name is The Nany Diaries but in film, don't much mention nanny's love.Usually mentions rich families' communication with their children in film.It was a classical nanny film.But while I was watching film,I was boring. Film was comic and emotional.Perhaps, It's describing a lot of family's life. When parents neglected their children , they was doing business.It counsels a lot of family.Also It was mentioning , person's instability for selection job. Outwise Scarlett Jhonsson was great.I enjoy it.Generally,film was beautiful.I advice to watch the film. Especially parents should watch the film.
