The Nanny Diaries

ComedyDramaRomance106 min

Scarlett Johansson is a recent college graduate who takes a nanny job with a wealthy New York family and quickly finds herself swallowed by their private drama. Living inside the household, she has to manage the demanding child in her care while navigating the parents’ strained marriage, class divides, and a romance that complicates life outside the apartment. Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti are part of the polished, unhappy world employing her, while Chris Evans enters as a flirtation beyond it. The story keeps one foot in Manhattan fantasy and the other in the awkward realities of working for people who expect constant availability.
