THE NANNY DIARIES
SYNOPSIS
“The Nanny Diaries” tells the story of the emotional
and often humorous journey of Annie Braddock
(Johansson), a young woman from a working-
class neighborhood in New Jersey, struggling to
understand her place in the world. Fresh out of
college, she gets tremendous pressure from her
nurse mother to find a respectable position in the
business world although Annie would prefer to
trade in her blackberry for an anthropologist's field
diary. Through a serendipitous meeting, Annie
ends up in the elite and ritualistic culture of
Manhattan's Upper East Side -- as remote from
Annie's suburban New Jersey upbringing as life in
an Amazon tribal village. Choosing to duck out of
real life, Annie accepts the position as a nanny for
a wealthy family, referred to as simply "the X's."
She quickly learns that life is not very rosy on the
other side of the tax bracket, as she must cater to
the every whim of Mrs. X (Linney) and her
precocious son Grayer, while attempting to avoid
the formidable Mr. X (Giamatti). Life becomes even
more complicated when Annie falls for a gorgeous
Park Avenue Hottie (Evans), and she's forced to
explore her identity as never before.
