Satire of how rich people treat nannies
17 November 2017
The name Scarlett Johansson is enough to raise at least some interest in most males. Pair that with what looks like it could be a funny romance and I'm in.

I wish I could say it was funny. Unfortunately for me, I have a hard time with satire, especially the more extreme it is. At least I hope this is extreme. I really hate to think that there are real nannies with lives like this.

This movie parodies some deeply sad issue with absentee parenting. I was pulled in by Nanny (Annie) and Grayer's plight. The movie gets a little preachy about it.

Scarlett Johansson plays new graduate with no backbone at all. Because she is a total doormat, her employers totally wipe their feet on her and her feelings. This made it hard for me to watch.

I thought the climax of the story was good and it really wasn't what I expected.

There isn't a lot of romance in the movie.
