Ein Kindermädchen für Papa

Gregory Harrison and Heidi Lenhart (Oliver Caldwell, Jenny Morgan) have that certain chemistry that makes this film enjoyable. Jenny needs a job so she takes a job as a nanny to the Caldwell residence. Oliver has two children that are little "monsters" that bring terror to adults. Oliver is engaged to Vivian Berger, a snobbish and cold-hearted woman. Vivian doesn't care for the kids and becomes jealous of Jenny. A bond of love develops between Jenny and the kids as the "terrors" become "matchmakers." Vivian has her own plans to derail the kids and Jenny which is successful. The plot is very predictable and yet you fall in love with Jenny and those "brats." Can Oliver see past the schemes of Vivian? Will Jenny and Oliver marry? A very entertaining film for the whole family.

Altogether a charming little piece, but it was pathetic to see that except a 20 second shot showing the obvious Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, almost the whole movie was shot in Hungary's lovely Budapest and Szentendre - without giving any due credit (except the Hungarian signs all over the place). For all those that are "sucker for movies that take place in Paris" - sorry to disappoint you ;-)

Not a bad movie, but there were some unpolished areas. A bit too much slapstick (like the wicked fiance falling in the water). There was also not much, if any, credit given to the Budapest location. Were we suppose to think it was Paris? John Rhys-Davies might be typecast (but only in my mind). I kept thinking "what is General Koskov of the James Bond film 'The Living Daylights' doing here?" After all, part of the James Bond film was set in Vienna, like this film!

The audience naturally would be hoping for a happy ending. However, the Gregory Harrison character is not necessarily the ideal husband. He is easily fooled by the fiance, is willing to be tricked into a sudden wedding, and doesn't seem to have an interest in his children.

Overall, I think the film could have been better had the script been written better. Perhaps they assume that children can only understand a situation where good and bad are obvious.

This film was great all the way trough and I think it will appeal to a a lot of people. The children in it were excellent and aloough they are not that well known I have seen other work by them and can Tell they are very talented in what they do and I think that Jake Dinwaddie is one of the best child actors I have ever seen.

I saw this movie first, when I was at a friend's house, in about 1999. I really liked it, but I forgot how good it was. Then, one day last week, I was flipping through channels, and when I got to Fox Family, I saw that it was on. It was near the beginning, so I watched it. Then, I saw lots of commercials for Au Pair 2. I couldn't wait to watch that. Last night, I watched the World Premire, and loved it. I hope that someday, there is another one.
