She learns that life is not very rosy on the other side of the tax bracket. Life becomes more complicated when she falls for a neighbor."Movie type: Comedy Drama Romantic - This is a comedy aimed squarely at the female audience, both young and old.

Reviews:
"Above Average But the movie itself is sort of bland and obvious and comfortable." Roger Ebert
"Average The very rich are different from you and me. And much worse. That's basically the message of the disappointingly banal Nanny Diaries, a film that is even more lightweight and clich�d than the fluff that was the best-selling book." USA Today
"Good But the movie belongs to Linney, who brings a full-blooded dimension to what could have been a misogynistic cutout." TV Guide Online
"Above Average The movie reconciles such spongy ambivalence with an even spongier climax that you're forced to buy, moisture and all." Newsday
