The film belongs to Linney, whose caustic putdowns and status-seeking veneer barely hides her genuine hurt over her husband's philandering and her distant relationship to her own child. No doubt her diaries would be more compelling than the nanny's.

There's a good movie buried inside The Nanny Diaries, and a good cast trying hard to dig it out. Too bad they don't get much help.

Satire should be knife-sharp and whip-smart, and The Nanny Diaries never is.

The social bite of the popular novel fades into a generic chick flick.

As you watch the nannies mistreated and the children left to cry themselves to sleep, the only surprise is that there are no surprises. It’s zombie-land.

You might expect a hum drum movie from the title, but the film makers did a twist that makes this a much more interesting story line. Annie (Scarlett) is an anthropology major so she narrates this as if she is studying a native tribe in the jungle, in this case, the tribe is rich white families and the jungle is New York City's East side.
