passing up yet another summer movie....
ok, so...i was kinda looking forward to the release of the nanny diaries....the book was so deliciously acerbic.....a preppy-girl nannying for the remaining semester of her college degree (child development)at nyu.....her grandma has the real money- her folks less so.....and she is employed by mr and mrs x.....who are nightmares as parents and employers.....and mrs x is impressed at first that the nanny in question went to a-list schools in the city....and then she is intimidated by this, given that the nanny seems to have more to offer this child than the mamma......of course....the film producers cannot let a good story stay a good story.......by the time the scriptwriters are done, the nanny is from a poor single parent family, has already graduated, but in anthropology...and has no prep school connections of any kind....yeah, the poor child in question is neglected/ignored when there is nobody of importance paying attention.....in both book and movie....as if i would know because i've only read the reviews of the movie, not wasted my cash to see it.....sounds like something one picks up for free at the library to watch on a whim......when one has nothing better to do.....
