Here's hoping that the very talented [Shari] Springer [Berman] and [Robert] Pulcini get a crack at a script that's worthy of their talents for their third time at bat.

...can't help but come off as something of a disappointment...

By painting with too broad a brush, Nanny gets laughs at the expense of any sort of deeper commentary the filmmakers were obviously hoping to achieve.

For viewers who thought The Devil Wears Prada was way too hard-hitting

This is the sort of ho-hum production that will likely seem less disappointing on a smaller screen.

It could have been much stronger if it were just a tinge more wicked instead of being primitively moralist right at the end in the name of maternal love -- I mean, I still have mommy issues.

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.

The Nanny Diaries, despite many bright moments and a superior level of craftsmanship, is now a flabby urban fairy tale.

Stalled out in mediocre-land, and choices like the narration, the overbearingly cutesy art direction and costume design, and even preserving the convention of calling them Mr. and Mrs. X pulled you out of the story and dragged it down.

With [Linney], the film receives some badly needed dimension to its thin satire, not to mention the lion's share of the laughs.

A clever, satiric novel turned dull-witted movie.

The conclusion is desperately trite, but Linney's performance helps this comedy - based on a novel by two nannies, take note - feel like a credible peek behind very expensive curtains.
