The Nanny Diaries

Rating: B-

Story of a college graduate who is looking to find herself and finds herself a nanny for a wealthy family on the Upper East Side.

I loved this book but the movie was not exceptional.  It wasn't terrible but it was really almost a line-by-line of the movie so it got a bit boring.  Scarlett Johansson was an interesting choice for the roll of the nanny - I would have gone with someone with a bit more personality as the character felt a little flat.  Laura Linney was great.  Bob Giamatti was another interesting choice.   I bought it but I probably won't watch it often.
