Critics Consensus

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

Deborah Ross The Spectator What is this film about? Nothing. It's senseless and horrid, patronising to all women everywhere, and extremely tiresome. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Melissa Anderson Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The real tragedy of this film's utter mediocrity is that it masks a marvelous performance from Laura Linney. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 17, 2020 Full Review Brandy McDonnell The Oklahoman "The Nanny Diaries" has its share of plot holes and cliches but stands on the strength of its performances. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Bland and shallow satire on being a college grad nanny on Manhattan's Upper East Side for a dysfunctional rich couple.

Janet B I think the critics were too harsh. My only issue watching it was that I was stressed out for Annie, and I wish she could've vented more to her friends. Also, the end was unrealistic (with the video). Overall, I enjoyed it, and I think "ScarJo" was likeable and relatable in it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Amir A Scarlett Johanssen is great In this and its a good watch. Paul Giamatti is a creep in this and Chris Evans can't take no for an answer plus Grayer(The Little Kid) is the worst I'm sorry he's annoying. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Jessica A Charming and easy to watch. Happy to have stumbled upon it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Jason P Great movie, solid plot & characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Maybe M This film reminds me of a modern version of "Downtown Girls". Although this may not be the most complicated film, it is good and easy to watch. Great actors and a nice comfy film. For those who are fans of Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans then this film is for you. It is a cutesy film of there's before of the two before they became A List superheroes. Laura Linney portrays an upper east side wife extremely well shows beautiful emotion when it comes to being neglected by her husband. Nicholas Art's (Grayer) performance was superb for a child actor and makes the film even better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Timothy D It's not ground breaking, but The Nanny Diaries provides enough chuckles to be worth the watch. The storyline is earnest and wins you over if you let it. Additionally, seeing Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans in the same movie is always a treat. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
