Based on the best-selling novel, “The Nanny Diaries” is “the freshest, funniest, most purely enjoyable movie of the season” (Milan Paurich, CBS-TV). Scarlett Johansson (”Lost In Translation”) is Annie, a young college grad from working-class Jersey who becomes a nanny for Manhattan socialite and mother-from-hell “Mrs. X” (Laura Linney). As Annie balances her boss’s demands with her attraction to “Harvard Hottie” (Chris Evans, “Fantastic Four”), she learns all about life, love and surviving in the urban jungle. Featuring Alicia Keys, “The Nanny Diaries” is “the intelligent comedy you’ve been waiting for” (Roger Friedman, Foxnews.com). (Publisher)
