It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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.

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.

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.

I love Hallmark movies and mysteries. They are simple to watch and enjoyable.I sat down last night with my family to watch "Along Came a Nanny" and all we could stand was the first half hour.The music in the background was louder than the speaking voices. I have two different TV sets and I tried them out on both. Both were the same with that loud banging, "bing-bong" type music that is totally distracting and annoying. There should be no music while the actors are generally speaking, except during a climatic scene. This was not the case. That "bam-bam" music never stopped.My family and I just turned the channel and that was that. Why ruin a good movie with irritating music, especially during a mystery? One has to concentrate on every word, not have to try and block out the disrupting music to hear every word. Bad job, Hallmark, on this one.
