Plot Summary: "A 21-year-old New York University student becomes a nanny to a family on the Upper East Side who turns out to be the family from hell.The story of the journey of Annie Braddock, a young woman from a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey, struggling to understand her place in the world. Fresh out of college, she gets tremendous pressure from her nurse mother to find a respectable position in the business world although Annie would prefer to trade in her blackberry for an anthropologist's field diary. Through a serendipitous meeting, Annie ends up in the elite and ritualistic culture of Manhattan's Upper East Side--as remote from Annie's suburban New Jersey upbringing as life in an Amazon tribal village. Choosing to duck out of real life, Annie accepts the position as a nanny for a wealthy family, referred to as simply "the X's." She quickly learns that life is not very rosy on the other side of the tax bracket, as she must cater to the every whim of Mrs. X and her precocious son Grayer, while attempting to avoid the formidable Mr. X. Life becomes even more complicated when Annie falls for a gorgeous Park Avenue Hottie, and she's forced to explore her identity as never before."

It looks like a Lindsay Lohan vehicle. Lame for Scarlett, very lame.

[ilovemovies]

It doesn't look very interesting but I will see it for Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney and Paul 'the fucking man' Giamatti.

[Frank the Tank]

This looks really lame. I mean, she does the gag where she's in some wacky situation, turns around, and sees the man of her dreams like 6 times in the trailer. That's overkill.

Why support a crap looking film and not support one of his better looking films?(Fred Claus, Shoot Em' Up)

Fred Claus looks WAY worse than this. ;)

Saw the film. Kinda of boring. Reminded me a lot of Devil Wears Prada except Devil Wears Prada was better.

Also, Scarlett Johansen was bland and boring. I have only enjoyed her in two films Scoop and Match Point. Most of the time I just dont see whats so great about her acting.

I'll agree, she was hella overrated in Lost In Translation and her bad acting almost took me out of The Prestige.

She's a fucking pest. Her performances are not "understated", they're just dull and lifeless...unlike her lovely hair of course, and that's because she uses L'Oreal.

This flick looks pretty useless.

[Superplasmatron]

This is the kinda shit they put on planes to help people sleep, I'm glad I know the difference between good acting and barely animated fuckdoll.

[ilovemovies]

Man, I can't believe the hate Scarlett is getting. Love her. She's great.

She gave one of my all time favorite performances by ANYONE in Lost in Translation. Liked her in just about anything else. She was only just okay in The Black Dahlia, but I liked her in everything else.

If one was in encase he in a giant paper bag and asked to act herself out, do you really think she would find freedom, she's o.k. in roles which don't involve acting, playing a young sappy girl is thus far her limit.
