the movie be barely base on the book . they make the nanny character ( now annie ) a poor new jersey girl and raise by a single mother and who have no idea what she want to do with her life . i can not understand for the life of me why they decide to make the character unrecognizable . why change her into someone who be wishywashy and and know nothing about child . it be uncomfortable watch a character who be so out of her depth and while the nanny in the book grow up in that society and yet could still see the ridiculousness of it . what be the point of erase her dad . such a pity and because the book be brilliant and and part of what make it so good be nanny apt social commentary and not her shock of be throw into the deep end of nice and normal and jersey girl v rich and stupid and manhatanities . and a dress up 4th of july party . and the whole harvard hottie thing just seem wrong . don not even bother watch the movie . read the book and leave it at that . you will be much happy .
