MAID IN MANHATTAN
In The Nanny Diaries, Scarlett Johansson played strapped-for-cash NYU grad Annie Braddox. After putting a desperate ad in the newspaper, Braddox finds herself working in domestic hell, taking care of an impish 4-year-old and enduring the demands of her employers, Mr. and Mrs. X. Luckily, there's an angel — er, love interest — on the Upper East Side to save her from a life of servitude. —Chris Schonberger
