Au Pair (1999)

You won't be disappointed!

Perfect cast and a good story

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

Au Pair is such a heartwarming movie for the whole family. I especially love Gregory Harrison's role as Oliver. It was nice to see Jane Sibbett as a villain, since she played a great one in the movie "It Takes Two" with the Olson twins. Jane Sibbett always handles great roles which involve her as mean, annoying and the character that makes everything going great for her and not for everybody else, until the kids prove it. I love how Heidi Lenhart played Jennifer Morgan. She really showed how her intelligence and confidence can help with all the unexpected things that happen to her in this movie. All of the characters played their part very well and should've made people put this movie on video cassette or DVD. I especially love how well the actors of the kids did. They looked like they enjoyed acting with Heidi Lenhart and Gregory Harrison. I babysit as a job, and most of the kids really enjoyed this movie.

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!

This is my favorite movie! It is funny, cool and I loved Jenny Morgan! The kids were bratty and you wanted to kill them, but so what, they were great and by the end you will love them as much as the rest of the fun, cute and funny movie. although I do think the formula is unoriginal and the film probably tried too hard, but still not stopping the 10/10 from me!
