Along Came a Nanny (2014)

i must have seen a different film!!

Better Late Then Never

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

I liked this movie. It was cute and funny at times and had a little excitement at the end. But the strange thing was they had 2 different dogs, a really old dog at the beginning and a much younger dog after the first scene of the dog. The movie kept you guessing who was the guilty person all the way though the movie. Also I didn't hear any loud sounds over the music.

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.

I watched this all the way through so that earns it at least 2 stars. but man oh man was this Manny, though cute, the dumbest detective ever? His whole methodology consisted of A) writing all the of the names of the people in the neighborhood and drawing arrows from one to another and then studying his drawing in bed night after night like it was Holy Writ. B) congregating on the sidewalk with the other Nannies and asking if they've seen anything unusual. And C) flirting with the pretty Nanny on walks while they are pretending to be sleuths. The perp was entirely obvious, though the motive for the robberies was so dumb, I kept saying to myself "No, It couldn't be...too lame." Plot holes a mile wide. The big clue is a pen with the burglars fingerprints on it, yet they just had to match the prints found at the crime scene with the suspects prints on file as he had a previous record. If you are watching this for the romance, forget that too. Not a bit of charm or chemistry. Lazy and lame, the scriptwriter should have been ashamed to take a paycheck for this dribble.
