The Nanny Diaries certainly has to be a feel good summer movie, it’s entertaining and sweet and a coming of age story as told through one characters point of view. The ever beautiful and attractive Scarlett Johansson stars as Annie Braddock a suburban New Jersey girl who just graduates college and she has dreams of becoming an anthropologist.

While the main focus of the movie seems to be on the evils of luxury and the importance of raising children, Annie’s sweet, lovable mother consistently nags Annie to enter the world of business and finance in pursuit of a "better" life.

The mother reminds Annie that she worked years of overtime, etc. as a nurse to give Annie the chance to go to a good school and work towards the high life.

She is also appalled to learn of Annie’s waste-of-time job raising a child.The film does have it’s saving graces. Johansson and Evans are both very charming in the film and the rest of the cast do a good job.

But what they succeeded in doing was establish a relationship between Annie and Grayer. Their relationship and could see how much they meant to each other. Their relationship was truly touching and believable.
