And I half expected it to suck.  But I really enjoyed it!  I had asked earlier this week if people thought Scarlett Johansson would be believable as a nanny.   Variety had commented that Scarlett was “too voluptuously beautiful for the job”.  I thought Scarlett filled the part perfectly, and did a great job acting.

I was really surprised to see Paul Giamatti – I didn’t even know he was in the movie!  Scarlett’s character was great – but I found Laura Linney’s character so much more interesting.  Laura Linney is one of the finest female actresses these days (in my opinion) and she nailed the part of the Upper East Side wife/mother role perfectly.

Anyways – did any of you guys make it to the movies this weekend?  What did you see?

PS: I also saw “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” with the boys on Friday – and I laughed so hard.  (I didn’t know they even made G rated movies anymore.)  In fact I was the only one laughing in the theater.  That could have been because I was surrounded by senior citizens, and I’m pretty sure they were all asleep.  Oh well…Mr. Bean kicks ass.
