Quand les enfants s'en mêlent

Although it's nice to see so much wealth, beautiful European cities, landscapes and the leading actress, all in the sun, the plot is as cliche as cliche can be.

A total Sound of Music rip-off, it even plays in Salzburg a while, but on the average; pretty nice to digest.

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.

I really liked this movie. The acting was pretty good, and I LOVED the scenes in Europe. What can I say...I'm a sucker for movies that take place in Paris. Even though those kids were somewhat annoying, they didn't bother me so much, that i would change my opinion on the movie. I also love that actress who plays the step mom-to-be. she is really funny, and has a history of playing those types of characters. Remember "it Takes Two"? Yea, that was her. Anyways, this was a great movie, and it was really worth watching.

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.

I saw this film at Easter (bank holiday) and watched it only because I had nothing better to do. I loved it: OK the story is predictable and follows the usual family film, Cinderella format but the acting was fine, the kids were good (not overplayed) and it never felt "eighties". Basing the action in Europe was a great idea. Heidi Noelle Lenhart is outstanding, she lights up the film and is possibly even more gorgeous than Salma Hayek, so she should go a long way. Forget the family angle this is a movie for sad old fortysomething men with a few hours to spare fantasising about winning the lottery and buying thier own castle.
