After celebrating New Year’s at Echo and Karen’s, I spent the first day of the year being lazy with my friends Tina J, Meghan and Shannon. They were in town to attend the jam session at Echo’s and decided to crash at my place rather than risk driving home on the icy roads with a bunch of drunk people.
We spent New Year’s Day just being lazy and we watched the film, “The Nanny Diaries.”
I’d give this film four and a half spoons out of five on the Heather movie spoon system.
It was a very cute, lighthearted comedy without much in the way of smut or other things that could ruin the movie for general family viewing. There is the occasional swear word, but the offender is scolded, if that matters to you.
The story is about a recent college grad looking for that first “real job.” The pressure of the job hunt gets to her and she realizes she’s just not ready for it. So, to buy some time, she takes on a job she thinks is going to be easy – being a nanny to a four-year-old boy.
It turns out to be way harder than she’d imagined as she soon figures out the child’s parents are more interested in their social lives and work than they are in their child.
The movie is based on a book written by two women who once worked as nannies in New York City. Be sure to watch the behind-the-scenes real nanny stuff on the DVD – it’s very good. And yes, this Netflix film also has closed captioning for the hearing impaired. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Netflix has gotten on board with audio description – but that’s an issue for another day.
In short, if you want to watch something funny, light and that won’t put you in any awkward family viewing positions – this is a great film.
