Modest, clever, diverting comedy about a directionless college grad (Scarlett Johansson), with a major in Business and minor in Anthropology, who falls into a temp position as an Upper East Side nanny, continuing her anthropological studies independently in the exotic society of the filthy rich. The self-absorbed parents (Laura Linney, Paul Giamatti) are so convincingly awful that a happy ending seems unimaginable or unswallowable. The child (Nicholas Art), although endorsed by the sensible nanny as wonderful and terrific and special, hardly registers as anything once he stops being a monster. It's the nanny herself who registers as wonderful and terrific and special, while stopping well short of Mary Poppins magic. With Chris Evans and Alicia Keys; co-written and co-directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini. (2007) — Duncan Shepherd
