The Nanny Diaries

...en småmysig film, som kan få tittaren att dra lite på smilbanden.

...the film belongs to Linney, whose caustic putdowns and status-seeking veneer barely hides her genuine hurt over her husband's philandering and her distant relationship to her own child.

It's a pleasant, fitfully amusing watch...

Through the eyes of Nanny, we see the rules governing dress, fashion, business, entertainment and conspicuous consumption in the same world that was memorably X-rayed by Tom Wolfe in The Bonfire of the Vanities.
