SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Jack Vasen I didn't like Cameron Mathison. I thought he overacted. I didn't buy why Jesse would be attracted to Mike. However, Sarah Lancaster held up her end doing a credible job acting. Kaaren de Zilva was the worst of all. The attempt to contrast Ramos with Mike was completely lame and overplayed.All aspects of the romance were weak. Building up Mike as Supernanny was overplayed.But the worst part was the crime story. At least some of the bad guys were pretty obvious from early on. Mike forgot a key clue. The Bannerman's didn't reset the alarm code after Cookie left, especially since they suspected her. In fact with all the robberies, the first thing most homeowners would do would be reset their alarm codes.The climax was a joke. Real police don't work the way it went down, especially caravanning from one suspect to another. No cop supposed to be watching Cookie would have let her escape. A building like the warehouse can't be locked so people can't get out. A kidnapper doesn't hold his hostage in a plainly marked RV in the middle of a centrally located parking lot with the mayoral candidate sitting there also. A suspect can't get hold of a gun that easily. The sad thing is that I watched this movie all the way through before realizing how bad it was.
bkoganbing I confess I had to look twice when I saw that Detective Mike Logan was going undercover as a nanny. I couldn't imagine Chris Noth from the Law And Order franchise doing this after he picked up his pension from the NYPD. However it was Canadian actor Cameron Matthison being an undercover nanny in this Hallmark Mystery film.In the upscale neighborhood of Poplar Point there has been a rash of burglaries. Since this is a rich community Matthison gets the assignment to track down and apprehend those responsible and there are several though only one does the actual burglaries. Matthison decides an unusual approach. He gets hired through an employment agency as an nanny and after a fashion proves adept at the job. He also gets a little romance going with Sarah Lancaster.Typical Hallmark product, but I have to say the motive for all the burglaries is an unusual and original one for these films.Worth seeing for that alone.
Michael Thompson A reviewer in the USA complains in his/her review about loud music throughout this film. I watched this film and enjoyed it "throughout". There was no "loud" music.Here we have a detective going under cover as a nanny to solve burglaries in a local community.He gets to know the local ladies, as they talk, and I noticed not a bit of litter could be seen on the streets. He gets sacked from the job due to a misunderstanding between his employer and his police chief. But is soon back again.This was a light hearted movie, frothy and fun, with an ending that rounds things off nicely.All I can say is another 10 stars from Hallmark.
rebekahrox I watched this all the way through so that earns it at least 2 stars. but man oh man was this Manny, though cute, the dumbest detective ever? His whole methodology consisted of A) writing all the of the names of the people in the neighborhood and drawing arrows from one to another and then studying his drawing in bed night after night like it was Holy Writ. B) congregating on the sidewalk with the other Nannies and asking if they've seen anything unusual. And C) flirting with the pretty Nanny on walks while they are pretending to be sleuths. The perp was entirely obvious, though the motive for the robberies was so dumb, I kept saying to myself "No, It couldn't be...too lame." Plot holes a mile wide. The big clue is a pen with the burglars fingerprints on it, yet they just had to match the prints found at the crime scene with the suspects prints on file as he had a previous record. If you are watching this for the romance, forget that too. Not a bit of charm or chemistry. Lazy and lame, the scriptwriter should have been ashamed to take a paycheck for this dribble.
