Very well executed
Powerful
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This is basically another nanny meets a good man and a couple of cute kids. It is a slightly different take on the theme since the man is a foster dad and both the adults have to win the kids over. The story is a little inconsistent since Libby manages OK despite supposedly not knowing anything about kids or anything else related to being a nanny, but that's OK. There is a nice theme about needing someone even when you move around.Despite being a little predictable, this is an enjoyable movie thanks to the charming Jessy Schram. She wins the kids and the audience. Aaron Hill is a little stiff as Dan. The movie doesn't do a great job showing him develop a relationship with the kids or Libby.I rate by personal enjoyment and as I said Jessy Schram wins me over in this and I have to admit I'm partial to her in general.
This cute feel good family movie involves a couple of foster kids who while waiting for a family to adopt them are taken in by a cop. He meets a lady who has just been laid off and hires her as a nanny.Brittney Snow lookalike Jessy Schram is quite likable as the video game creator/nanny. Rather conveniently, the house is just a perfect looking family ready home.Of course you can guess the outcome but it's fun to see the family bond come together. It avoids being painful and has some laughs along the way and that's not easy. Also the kids don't get annoying.Worth one watch.
