Kenkeller-98-620553 Avoid the naysayers on the reviews. Enjoy it for what it is. Fun, realistic and an easy to watch interaction of a widower, a nanny and two kids who missed their deceased mom.

heidibetrug This movie is so sugary I feel the need for some insulin. Per the Hallmark template, motherless kids with well-meaning but harried dad get a lovely young nanny. Nanny is ebullient, attractive, and able to overcome the kids' initial hostility to become much loved and their prime candidate for step-motherhood. Yadda, yadda, yadda.The hook here is supposed to be the Halloween theme, which fills every scene like car exhaust in a closed garage. Who but owners of popup Halloween stores decorates every inch of their environment with this sort of schlock? Main character Poppy is a perpetually grinning hobgoblin who talks, eats, sleeps and dresses Halloween for weeks before the "big day". She's unrelentingly cheerful and quick with the the happy-talk repartee and it's all just too too much. It ends as you would expect...and I'm off to watch something less syrupy . Reservoir Dogs, anyone?

rmcbroom-61490 I really love this movie. It's a nice movie to watch for a time of relaxing regardless of what it is. I happen to like watching them on a chilly, cloudy, and rainy day. Snuggled by my fireplace, there is no place I'd like to be. It's a nice pick me upper along with a feel good movie. I love this movie and the actor's they picked to play the parts. They all compliment one another along with helping the viewer feel like they can relate on some level with the movie. It was perfect for the amount chemistry and not over done. This is a nice movie that will help anyone be in a good mood. Great job Hallmark!Does anyone know where they did they filming and where the house is located? I love the landscape and the design of the house. I am also curious of the location where Poppy's sisters house is located as well.

boblipton Director Lynne Stopkewich turns up the perkiness of this Hallmark Halloween movie as far as it will go in this story about unable-to-commit Ashley Williams taking a job as a nanny for work-addled Sam Jaeger's adorable children for two whole weeks.Ms. Williams starts out as a free spirit, so free, in fact that it soon becomes obvious that this is her problem; she cannot commit to any job, date or relationship beyond her two fatherless nephews. When her sister gets her a job as a nanny for Mr. Jaeger's motherless son and daughter, the only thing keeping her there is that this is, after all, a Hallmark romantic comedy.Like many of them, this is slight to the verge of being invisible. However, Ms. Williams' perpetual quizzical smile makes it eminently painless.
