InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Kenkeller-98-620553 Avoid the naysayers on the reviews. Enjoy it for what it is. Fun, realistic and an easy to watch interaction of a widower, a nanny and two kids who missed their deceased mom.
M Kap You have seen this movie in other iterations for decades. What makes this one different is Ashley Williams, who shines in every scene. She is a delight to watch! The children she becomes a nanny for do better than fine in their roles, as does the father. The father has a gorgeous, brilliant, successful girlfriend - someone who's also good through and through - not someone the audience can dislike for any reason other than as a foil to our heroine, Ashley. While we know where this is going and where it'll end up, as a man I sure wish I had this father's problems, at least for awhile. While the women are in their 30s, they're both hoping to be with this father who doesn't appear to be anything special (that's his role though) other than having two wonderful children. Maybe it's his skill at keyboard clicking and gripping his smartphone that puts him up on a pedestal. He also has a huge Apple MacBook Pro on his desk, a 15-inch, and how many guys could afford that?One quandary in the script was money for services rendered. There is no discussion of salary for her nannying. There is also a scene where Ashley takes the children Halloween shopping with a seemingly unlimited budget, because shopping with no money is what makes people happy? She wasn't given a credit card by the father, nor is there any discussion about her being reimbursed for all the purchases she made, even though she is relatively low on money. A 10-second scene of dad handing her a card for emergencies should've been in the final edit.
boblipton Director Lynne Stopkewich turns up the perkiness of this Hallmark Halloween movie as far as it will go in this story about unable-to-commit Ashley Williams taking a job as a nanny for work-addled Sam Jaeger's adorable children for two whole weeks.Ms. Williams starts out as a free spirit, so free, in fact that it soon becomes obvious that this is her problem; she cannot commit to any job, date or relationship beyond her two fatherless nephews. When her sister gets her a job as a nanny for Mr. Jaeger's motherless son and daughter, the only thing keeping her there is that this is, after all, a Hallmark romantic comedy.Like many of them, this is slight to the verge of being invisible. However, Ms. Williams' perpetual quizzical smile makes it eminently painless.
utgard14 A woman named Poppy who bounces around from one job to another becomes a nanny to the two children of a workaholic widower. She quickly wins the kids over, then the dad, but a burgeoning workplace romance for him and Poppy's commitment issues may spell the first ever sad ending for a Hallmark romantic comedy. Yeah, right! It's a Hallmark movie so, of course, it's predictable to a fault. But what saves the movie from the mediocrity that engulfs so many made-for-TV efforts is the winning personality of Ashley Williams. She's charming, bubbly, and downright lovable in this. That isn't to say the rest of the cast is bad. It's actually a very good cast for these types of things. Sam Jaeger does an admirable job making his workaholic father character likable. The two kids are terrific, especially the daughter. The cast plays well off one another and really come alive in scenes with the delightful Ashley Williams. It's a funny, sweet, and pleasant movie; a nice way to pass the time. It won't challenge you and it doesn't reinvent the TV romcom but, if you are a fan of such movies, I doubt that you will find anything to dislike here.
