Nanny Diaries

First Hit: What a waste of celluloid. This is barely a video for rent movie.

What were these highly skilled actors doing in a film like this?

Look at Laura Linney’s, Paul Giamatti’s, or Scarlett Johansson's previous work and then watch this film. It isn’t that their acting was that bad, in fact Paul was good as a non-caring corporate hustler. It was their choice to do this film that I cannot understand.

The premise was poor, not enough of a setup to believe the initial choice to take a nanny position was credible. The umbrella scenes were hokey. The moments where Laura was suppose to not see and believe her husband’s indiscretions weren’t believable. The whole thing wasn’t worth any price to see it in a theater.

Overall: Don’t waste your money. If you must see it wait for the video release, it won’t be a long wait.
