AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The Nanny Diaries' miscast lead and unrealistic, one-dimensional characters make this class satire far less effective than it should've been.

The conclusion is desperately trite, but Linney's performance helps this comedy - based on a novel by two nannies, take note - feel like a credible peek behind very expensive curtains.
For viewers who thought The Devil Wears Prada was way too hard-hitting
Stalled out in mediocre-land, and choices like the narration, the overbearingly cutesy art direction and costume design, and even preserving the convention of calling them Mr. and Mrs. X pulled you out of the story and dragged it down.
Here's hoping that the very talented [Shari] Springer [Berman] and [Robert] Pulcini get a crack at a script that's worthy of their talents for their third time at bat.
...can't help but come off as something of a disappointment...
By painting with too broad a brush, Nanny gets laughs at the expense of any sort of deeper commentary the filmmakers were obviously hoping to achieve.
Audience Reviews for The Nanny Diaries
Scarlett Johansson plays nanny to a horrible couple (the X'es) with a cute kid. Eventually she leaves, but not before explaining the error of Mrs. X's ways who reforms and lives happily ever after.
There is a bit of kitsch in this movie!

Quite enjoyed this film! It's one that make you feel good and happy. A must see!

I wouldn't say this completely blew me away or something, but it was enjoyable. Though "flying around with a red umbrella" was a bit weird and there were more cheesiness involved (which I don't feel like explaining and it was tolerable enough to forgive), but this wasn't bad after all. The story reflects the reality and that's what I like about it most. It gets pretty touchy at some moments.
