Charlotte Observer
Johansson, hair dyed brown to make her seem less glamorous, spices up this bland role. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The comedy has several inspired moments and a genuine flair for the satiric, but overall the film leaves you cold. - 50
Variety
Rarely rises above standard sitcom fare. - 50
Village Voice
Like the book, the Nanny Diaries movie never finds a dramatic center. - 50
Chicago Tribune
They should've thrown everything away except the title and the outline. That's what the "Devil Wears Prada" creative team did, and that film turned out a lot richer than this one. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Awash in spurious sentimentality and sniping. - 50
Washington Post
Linney -- this has happened too much to her -- is once again the best thing in a movie that at most achieves a certain mediocrity. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
For a light comedy, The Nanny Diaries turns out to have an off-putting theme. It glorifies the romance of slumming.
