Just what I expected

Excellent but underrated film

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

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

How did this movie get any good reviews? I just could not tolerate the behavior of the daughter, who was a spoiled, rich brat and said disrespectful, humiliating things to the nanny RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FATHER, and he did nothing! So her mother died...that doesn't give her the right to treat anyone like that. The daughter was the instigator in frightening away nanny after nanny and not once did the father make her accountable for any of it or give any consequences for the behavior. Instead, she is still allowed to go to dance lessons and orders the nanny to wash and get her clothes ready and practically throws them at her, what? Again, right in front of her father! There was a simple solution...if the daughter absolutely refuses to behave after being given chance after chance, hire a nanny for the son and send her somewhere after school with strict supervision, no cellphone, etc, or any other privileges. She would get in line real fast. This is the worst nanny movie I have ever seen. The producers should be ashamed.

Adorable movie! I love Vanessa Marcil and the male actor in this, and together they have awesome chemistry! The little boy is adorable, and the girl is challenging but it gives the story depth. If you're looking for a feel-good rom-com with good actors, this is it! Easy, inspiring and gentle flick.

Please note I lost interest in this film halfway through, so this is a slightly inaccurate review, but still display's my feeling's I felt while watching this. A typical cash-in of the ever-popular Nanny McPhee, this film boast's a typical family film character roster; bittersweet mother (or in this case, nanny), rebel teenager, deadbeat dad and a little brother who is mainly a supporting character and has little plot of his own. The film has little original content, a sick father that makes the viewer feel bad for not enjoying the film, but not much else. Humor? Nah, unless you are some 80's chap that always has their head in the past, at other family films, then yes, the whole thing is a comedy festival. There's soppy moment's and a dash of romance, nothing you haven't seen before. Unoriginal content, typical plot line and typical character development plus kids playing jokes, maturing and having boring paced character development, while the viewer has more idea what's going on moreso than the actor's make this film a real stinker.

The Nanny Express is a refreshing but familiar family dramedy. It shows Vanessa Marcil in a way one is not used to seeing her act. She is dressed down, nerdy and if you can believe it...very likable. Playing an all around do-gooder suits her well. She works hard for these kids and her ill father. Her time is stretched but she finds time to tutor underprivileged children at her church. You end up liking her character of Kate very much and you want all good things for her. The rest of the cast works well together and is able to come together to make this film really work. If you're looking for a feel good entertaining movie... this is it! 8/10
