“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.
