The Nanny Diaries (Full Screen Edition) description
Based on the best-selling book of the same name, the film version of The Nanny Diaries is a cute chick flick, but it lacks the witty tone of the novel, which took time to flesh out the characters.

What's to like in the movie? I like Scarlett Johansson and Laura Linney -they are good actresses and they can show depth in characters in other movies. So somehow I expect more from this movie. The lovely child, the affluent Manhattan, the handsome love interest and the nurse mother who wishes her daughter (Scarlett Johansson) to make the most out of her degree seems to be a promising start.
However, something amisses. The actors and actresses are good but the characters don't seem real. It is difficult to imagine wealthy people will ignore their adorabale child's thirst for affection and immerse themselves completely in merger (for the father) and benefits (for the mother). The love interest seems unreal too. It can't be that his classmates are all insensitive jerks and he the only one who shows emphathy and respect for others.
So the only real characters I can relate to are the nurse mother ( a caring and concerned mom) and Alicia Keys (gorgeous and witty). As for the leading lady, she makes the movie more watchable. But the story itself (I don't know about the book) makes the superficial wealthy people look so unbelievably ridiculous. Wrapped under the observer (an anthropologist), the objects under investigation are not so interesting and not worth the attention to be scrutinised so closely. |
