Jack Vasen 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.
bkoganbing 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.
lisamba 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.
rebekahrox 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.
