Leave your thoughts about The Nanny Diaries.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA 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. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"The Devil Has a Nanny" should have been the title of this "Devil Wears Prada" knock-off that squanders the talents of everyone associated. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossWhat is this film about? Nothing. It's senseless and horrid, patronising to all women everywhere, and extremely tiresome. |

| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsA horror film awkwardly disguised in the nondescript gray-green suit of a chick flick. |
