Adapted from the bestselling novel, the whimsical, heartwarming
comedy The Nanny Diaries concerns
Annie Braddock (
Scarlett Johansson), a recent college graduate from New Jersey whose nurse mother makes an unsuccessful bid to pressure her into a white-collared business career. Sidetracking this path for more colorful pursuits,
Annie accepts a position as nanny and domestic servant for a wealthy couple on the upper east side of Manhattan, known only as "The Xs" (
Paul Giamatti) and a heavily coiffed and accoutred
Laura Linney).
Annie has her first real taste of servant life when she arrives at the family's residence and promptly sinks into
Mrs. X's luxury tub, but is soon shuttled off to her own bare-bones room. Face to face, for the first time in her life, with the vast socioeconomic differences between herself and others,
Annie must spend her days catering to
Mrs. X's every whim, navigating the emotional landmines set by the domineering
Mr. X, and tending to the demands of the couple's mischievous and bratty son,
Grayer (
Nicholas Art). The situation grows a bit more awkward and sticky when
Annie begins to fall for a young man who lives near the Xs, whom she's nicknamed
Harvard Hottie (
Chris Evans), leading her to seriously reevaluate her career goals and priorities.

This is no Mary Poppins story.
Scarlett Johansson is certainly no Julie Andrews, but she sure could use some Mary Poppins magic to discipline an obnoxious brat and his dysfunctional family. It's good to see Alicia Keys as Lynette, Scarlett's close friend.
