not horrible nor great

Dreadfully Boring

Best movie ever!

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The movie is like a fairytale, so children of the right age will like it. What I don't like about the movie is the way it butchers cities. It shall play in Paris and Vienna? All I can see is Budapest - which is a beautiful city too, by the way. But why claiming to be somewhere else and then showing pictures of Budapest's world famous Parliament house and suspension bridge? And while they inserted shots of the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph of Paris, I didn't see a single picture of any sight in Vienna. The second thing I really didn't like was the way the farmers "40 km outside of Vienna" were depicted. The whole set reminded me more of the museum of mountain farmers in the 19th century "Peter Roseggers Waldheimat" then of my uncles farm which is situated 60 km outside of Vienna.

Not a bad movie, but there were some unpolished areas. A bit too much slapstick (like the wicked fiance falling in the water). There was also not much, if any, credit given to the Budapest location. Were we suppose to think it was Paris? John Rhys-Davies might be typecast (but only in my mind). I kept thinking "what is General Koskov of the James Bond film 'The Living Daylights' doing here?" After all, part of the James Bond film was set in Vienna, like this film!The audience naturally would be hoping for a happy ending. However, the Gregory Harrison character is not necessarily the ideal husband. He is easily fooled by the fiance, is willing to be tricked into a sudden wedding, and doesn't seem to have an interest in his children.Overall, I think the film could have been better had the script been written better. Perhaps they assume that children can only understand a situation where good and bad are obvious.

Heidi Lenhart stars as Jenny, a young MBA graduate who doesn't have a lot of money so she starts looking for a job in order to one day be able to marry Charlie (Michael Woolson). She ends up at Caldwell Corp. after getting a lot of rejections and is very surprised to meet the great Oliver Caldwell (Gregory Harrison)in person, who is too busy to be with his kids and needs a nanny. She agrees to take the job and he takes the whole family to France along with his girlfriend and executive Vivian Berger. His kids, Alex and Katie hate spending time with nannies so they constantly find ways to get rid of Jenny, but with help from the Caldwell limo driver Nigel (John Rhys-Davies) she not only impresses the kids but Oliver as well. It was a great movie to watch it also reminded me so much of that series with Fran Drescher that was called The Nanny.

Sitting at home on a Sunday night, expecting an average sort of telemovie to come on and occupy my otherwise boring night. Well I definitely was wrong. Au Pair was probably the worst film I have seen in my entire life. Your traditional cliched plot was something with which almost made me run away, and the fact that you know how everything will happen right from the word go is unbelievably annoying. The acting in this film represents that of the 'BAD telemovie' community very well. I normally have some understanding with telemovies, expecting them not to be brilliant but slightly entertaining, but this really is HORRIFIC for the telemovie image. The fact that this film is advertised as a family flick repulses me to the extent of running away to gasp for air, and wash my self because it is so dirty. Not dirty in your sexual or violent way but for the fact that a film could be this bad, and yet still make it on to TV screens. If this is what families of today are meant to sit down and watch together, then I am afraid we are looking at a very simple minded and uneducated future, with appauling senses of humour.If only there were a rating on IMDB lower than 1... Be Afraid of this film BE VERY AFRAID!
