(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 38% Rotten Page   1   B "It's not exactly a Kubrickian essay of obsessive filmmaking mastery, but one can sense Nanny is going somewhere, instead of stumbling over mishaps and melodrama."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C- ""The Devil Has a Nanny" should have been the title of this "Devil Wears Prada" knock-off that squanders the talents of everyone associated."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Sadly, The Nanny Diaries' focus on beleaguered women doesn't lead to any sense of "freedom.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...can't help but come off as something of a disappointment..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "Acerbic and cutthroat in all the right places, along with truthful, savvy, and consistently entertaining."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Everyone gets a cute nickname, a means for this amateur anthropologist to protect the innocent and maintain some semblance of objectivity while advancing tired stereotypes of what it's like to be made in Manhattan."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D "A sour, stilted, graceless misfire that can't make its mind whether to be an edgy satire of class division or a feel-good feature-length sitcom."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "This is the sort of ho-hum production that will likely seem less disappointing on a smaller screen."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 6/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 1.5/4 "A bevy of respectable talent is uselessly squandered in clumsy efforts at cunning, humor and pathos."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "Save the $10.00 and the 106 minutes."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick C "With the exception of Laura Linney's perceptive portrayal of Mrs. X...everything about this film falls flat beginning with Johansson's lead performance."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Johansson displays ample warmth and charm in her first true leading lady gig."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina C "Director/screenwriters Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini of the brilliantly innovative American Splendor seem to believe that a studio movie has to play it safe and the result is predictable and dull."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/5 "Suficientemente divertido e tocante para merecer uma recomendação %u2013 mesmo que reconheçamos claramente o maniqueísmo empregado para alcançar estes efeitos."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "The end result is a shrill and silly misfire that comes across like an exceptionally expensive piece of television%u2013either a sitcom or a Lifetime Original Movie%u2013than a real movie."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "It's the sharp acting that almost makes us forget the over-familiar storyline."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "able to coast on its working-grrl attitude and a couple of intelligent casting decisions"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "Whatever its faults are, The Nanny Diaries is hardly the disaster that the gossipmongers -- including, perhaps, even the studio that made it -- want us to believe."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3/10 "Banal and disappointing, this screen adaptation of the satirical chick-lit novel misses so many chances to be funny and makes 'perfection' look pretty bleak."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "While there aren't any tour-de-force performances, Nanny is still modestly entertaining."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 38% Rotten Page   1
