The Citizen David Jenkin This is a very charming film that that should impress even the most hard-hearted. The story is a vibrant, entertaining and, at times, quite moving satire about class differences. | 15 | |
24.com Gugulethu Mkhabela The Nanny Diaries is a bittersweet but enjoyable slice of life. | 10 | |
BBC Billy Cometti Like The Devil Wears Prada, this film's kicks come from watching the foibles and quirks of the uber-rich through an outsider's eyes, but the genuine sadness on display in the Nanny Diaries saves this film from being just a Prada knock-off. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The Nanny Diaries, perhaps better titled The Bonfire of the Nannies. | 13 | |
eye Weekly Philip Brown The Nanny Diaries is a film that panders to too broad an audience and ultimately satisfies none. Part of the movie is a bitter satire of upper-class, absentee parents. Part of it is a coming-of-age romantic comedy about a young woman trying to find her way in the world after college. There are a several surreal sequences and a variety of awkward references to Mary Poppins. Simply put, it's a bit of a mess. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli This is the sort of ho-hum production that will likely seem less disappointing on a smaller screen. | 13 | |
