Scarlett Johansson doesn't pop up in this sort of light comedy/romantic comedy genre much, so this is a rare occasion to see her display just how funny she can be.

This isn't the best film in the world, it doesn't try to be. What it is though is a decent enough comedy, with some nice laughs along the way.

It's a surprise to see that Johansson is so good at comedy and is well supported by Laura Linney in her role.

If you're looking for an easy going comedy then this one has a lot going for it.

This is better than you'd expect. Do watch it. It is fascinating to watch as it shows a surprisingly not exaggerated view of New York domestic life. It's funny and touching.

Scarlett does a good job - this is the first movie I really liked her in. She is not afraid of looking unglamorous if the role requires it.

Comparing this with Devil Wears Prada - I think this is more realistic, funny and moving. Linney is good as always - doesn't overact. Paul Giamatti is a bit unlikely as a successful finance person. Should have chosen someone a bit more executive like. Alicia Keyes is a bit out of place as the friend - too pretty.

Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson) is a recent college graduate who can't settle on what to do except she wants to be in New York. When she rescues a kid from getting run over, the Jersey girl gets quickly snapped up by the boy's Upper East Side mother Mrs X (Laura Linney). At first the boy is a brat, but soon he's clinging to Annie. The mother is a control freak. The father (Paul Giamatti) is an absentee cheater. And the upstairs neighbor Harvard Hottie (Chris Evans) wouldn't take no for an answer.

The whole idea of no names is very distracting. It's a terrible gimmick that keeps bothering me every time these stupid no-names names pop up. The sad thing is that there is probably a touching story underneath this. But the gimmick constantly keeps the audience at an arm's length. Scarlett is an absolute charmer. She salvages something from this movie.
