SnoopyStyle Jennifer Mills (Anna Chlumsky) is a 25 year old freewheeling single with commitment issues and an aloof boyfriend. Her older sister Mandy and husband are going on a European vacation for 3 weeks. At the last minute, their mother can't babysit the 3 kids due to an injury to their father. Not everything goes smoothly with the cool aunt. The eldest daughter Alice Norton (Tiera Skovbye) has boy troubles. The younger girl has mean girls troubles, and the boy is a neurotic mess being bullied. Will Johnson (Warren Christie) is the handsome new next door neighbor who lends a hand. It turns out that her mother isn't really truthful.It's a Hallmark movie with nothing special. It's shot like every other second rate TV movie. There isn't much to recommend other than that there isn't anything objectionable going on. The acting is unimpressively reasonable. The dialog is pedestrian. The movie could do with some hijinx. The kids' problems are good drama. The little kids almost save this movie. The parents in Europe is not so good drama because there is no real danger of a breakup. The romantic chemistry between Jennifer and Will could do with a bit more heat but it's sweet anyways.

samerain1 As for the movie itself, it's not as well done (or poorly, according to your tastes) as the typical Hallmark movie, but not remarkably bad. What is remarkable is the viciously bad acting performance by Anna Chlumsky. She doesn't really act -- she just makes faces toward the camera. Katherine Hepburn said, "Acting is the perfect idiot's profession." After watching Anna Chlumsky mug and clown her way through this film, I would like to nominate her for the award of Perfect Idiot Actress. The blatant attempt to sex up her character (at work in an office, no less!) in a Hallmark movie with a very tight T-shirt and a very short skirt is laughable, also.

summer1904 Anna Chlumsky showed so much promise when she was a kid. Yet now she's resorted to made for TV drivel. This movie is about Jenny, a 20 something girl who can't commit to anything. She ends up looking after her sister's three kids for three weeks while their parents go on a second honeymoon. Cool Aunt Jenny learns that she can be responsible. Each of the kids learns how to deal with some kind of issue they are dealing with. Mom and Dad learn to put the romance back in their relationship. It all unfolds very predictably. There is also a love interest neighbour to come to the rescue when needed. This Hallmark movie is a safe bet if you're looking for something inoffensive to watch with your family. Other than that, don't bother.

edwagreen The picture is a good one as it deals with interpersonal relations and that everyone has needs and improvements to make in life.A couple, going on a honeymoon after 15 years of marriage, leaves their 3 children with the wife's youngest sister when grandpa and grandma kept come to babysit.This becomes a learning experience for the aunt, the children and the husband and wife, even when the latter are in Europe, they realize that they've come to a crisis in their marriage.The film is a good one because it deals with the coming of age and the maturity and responsibilities which come along.
