The greatest movie ever made..!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Does this movie show that you can lie to your boyfriend and boss, sneak around the bosses house like a spy when she's gone, and break all her rules but still get a big promotion? Also, apparently all you need to be a success and save the company is one good idea. Well, I guess it is an ad agency where ideas are gold.Ally pushes the envelope a little too much for me. And the ending is just too perfect in a sappy way. Everyone gets everything. Of course that is true in most of these Christmas romcoms, but for me this one was just a little too much. Part of being too much was how quickly and completely mom changed her entire outlook and really so did dad.The acting was OK and the kids did a good job. Besides the fact that this was another Nanny movie, a lot of the story was at least a little different. For instance Shakespeare and yoga for two kids under 10.Most people who watch these movies already expect sappiness, so there is still a good chance many will enjoy this movie.

This is an above average Christmas film to make you feel happy and full of the joy of the season. It tells the story of Ally (Vaugier), an advertising executive who loses her job just weeks before Christmas. Unable to pay the bills and mortgage she asks her friend, Tina (Thompson) for a lending hand, as her sister works for a top Advertising Agency. Unfortunately, there's some confusion in what positions she's applying for and instead of getting a job in the company Ally is hired to Nanny the bosses kids.One of the saving graces of the film is that the kids are not nasty. So many of these types of film have the children being shown that it's better to be nice than naughty, so as to avoid Santa's naughty list. So what we have is a heartwarming tale of a family pulled apart by ambition and career finding their way back to the right track and getting their priorities straight.The acting, on the whole, is pretty decent, though there are a few moments where Cain does a good job of hamming it up. I'm not too sure if this is intentional, though, for me, the film would have been stronger if his character had been straight and not over the top - as the comedic value was lost to the film.Overall, this is a nice Christmas film that I would recommend to all who love this time of year. It's also a nice family drama and romance, so if you enjoy them then grab a hot chocolate and put your feet up this winter and enjoy.

Okay another decent Christmas movie. Dean Cain plays a real hard ass looking for the right ad company for his chocolate line. At the end of the movie though he steps up and shows some humanity by telling Ally, the now nanny, to not make his mistake and to go for it. Ally is a marketing person who makes the mistake of putting the wrong holiday connection between the product and the owner. This leads to her being fired. She catches on as a nanny to another advertising exec and actually excels with the kids but not the uptight mommy. After giving her maybe boyfriend, Justin, the idea that lands the chocolate account from Cain she is found out to be the nanny and not an ad exec. Mommy realizes her errors and changes her behavior, feeding the kids pancakes when she usually goes with something a lot more healthy. So with her change of heart she throws a Christmas party for everyone except for Ally. The kids take care of that by inviting her to the party. She meets up with Justin and they hook back up as boyfriend and girlfriend. Daddy actually shows up for Christmas which surprises the entire family, pleasantly of course. He has realized that family is more important. Mommy realizes she wants to spend more time at home so takes a sabbatical sabbatical for a year. She leaves Justin in charge and promotes Ally from nanny to an ad exec. So as is typical in this type of film all ends well for every one.

This is just terrible. The female main character is so sickly sweet I spent the first half of the film thinking it was a joke/spoof Christmas film and second half cringing behind a cushion it was so uncomfortable to watch. It's like 'the sound of music' gone terribly, terribly wrong. The acting is the worst I have ever seen, and I watch 'true movies' on sky.Dean Cain is awful as the advertising customer, so ridiculous it's hard to put into words. I feel so strongly about this film that I felt I needed to warn others! This film actually put me off Christmas and I love rubbish Christmas movies. If you watch this film, you only have yourself to blame.
