Mr. Nanny (1993)

i must have seen a different film!!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

'Mr. Nanny' rides on the firm shoulders of Legendary Wrestler Turned Actor, Hulk Hogan, who despite being reduced to silliness, plays it sportingly & energetically. 'Mr. Nanny' Synopsis: A former professional wrestler is hired to be the bodyguard/nanny for a couple of bratty kids whose inventor father is being stalked by a rival.As a film, there is hardly anything remarkable here. Its like watching a low-budgeted version of the Vin Diesel hit The Pacifier, but in totality, this early 1990's flick might appeal to kids. There are a few laughs here, which frankly, are its only appealing moments.But Hogan is game here. He plays it to the gallery & even though he can't act too well, he still manages to give a sportive turn as Mr. Nanny.On the whole, Only if you love Hogan, watch it.

This movie is SO much better than the Vin Diesel movie "The Pacifier." Sure, it was funny to see a serious action star (the one from the very first "xXx" film) get in a big mess with several wacky children, but "Mr. Nanny" takes the cake as a very funny "man of the house" type of film! Why? Because of Hulk Hogan (or the American Tor Johnson, as I like to call him)! The DVD cover looks funny; and the movie is really funny, also. So people who like "The Pacifier," give up on that movie and come watch something more funny and more decent (if you know what I mean): "Mr. Nanny!" Oh, and don't forget a movie that goes an entire decade before this movie: "Mr. Mom!" Good stuff, they are!

When I rented Mr. Nanny I wanted to see if it's as bad as everybody rants. Well, they're all right.Hulk Hogan plays Sean Armstrong, a retired wrestler who takes a job as a bodyguard/nanny to protect a couple of spoiled rich kids who belong to a millionaire who is about to solve war with a computer chip. A evil mastermind named Thesanatos finds out about the chip and tries on occasions to kidnap the kids and hold them ransom for the chip. When the kids are captured it's up to Sean to save the day.First my impression of this movie, crap! I expected this to be a cute little movie with Hulk showing how he can act. Hogan can act but only in the size of a grain of sand. The kids are to annoying to care about and the father is a careless bum. Even the villain is an idiot. What are the odds of the villains head being shattered by the same man who he has to destroy years later when he tries to take over the world? This happens in the film, and it stinks! The villain had his skull crushed by Sean years ago and has it replaced with a metal plate, which by the way looks like tin foil. Now the film is filled with annoying actors, bad plots, stupid practical jokes that could never happen, and horrible villains. If you want your five year olds to be happy, make them watch this. If you want to sleep for an hour, watch this. If you want pure entertainment, watch something else. The only person in this whole film I actually liked was Sherman Hemsley, he had a few good lines but he falls flat playing a retired fight promoter gone cripple. Poor Hulk Hogan, I hope you learn from this mistake you made.

Wow! I recently saw this movie on TV, and even though it's 10 years after release, the power of this film is undiminished. Hogan has never been known for making conservative films, but Mr.Nanny breaks all the rules. It shatters boundaries and takes the audience places I didn't know a movie could. It may be quite experimental, and thus not for everyone's tastes, but it features a tour-de-force performance by Hulk Hogan reminisent of his unforgettable RIP Thomas. Probably the most mind blowing thing for me was reading that a lot of the Hulkster's on screen time was adlibbed, and that some of the most poignant lines in the film weren't actually in the script. A true modern classic.
