Au Pair II

I've Loved all 3 of these movies sense they first premiered on tv I just wished I was able to but them on blue ray or DVD hell even if they were on prime anywhere.

Gregory Harrison and Heidi Lenhart return as Oliver Caldwell and Jenny Morgan. They are still not married but are very close to it. The company which Oliver runs with Jenny is about to merge with another one. The kids return a little more "tame" than in the first movie and still want Jenny and Oliver to marry. The evil enemy in this film are a pair that what to take control of the company. The plot is different than the first film but still seeks the same outcome, Jenny & Oliver together. The chemistry between Oliver and Jenny in the first film is not evident in this film but still the film is a fine family film to watch. If you have not watched the first film "Au Pair" then I suggest that you see it before this film. You will enjoy it much more.

This movie follows the first Au Pair and though a bit of a copycat production from the original it does prove that movies can be clean, wholesome and interestingly entertaining. Once again Heidi Lenhart lights up the screen and Greg Harrison gives the production a manly presentation. I was surprised that some reviewers only gave these two both films two stars; the beautiful scenes in Austria along the Danube are worth four stars alone. I really did not want to see either film end as they were that enjoyable.

A year or two later things have changed for the Caldwell family. Heidi Lenhart stars again as Jenny with shorter hair and now a co-worker at the Caldwell Corp that now has formed a merger with Carl Sennhauser. Carl has two adult kids, Cassandra and Michael and they're not too pleased about the merger so they try to figure out a way to destroy Oliver. Their niece Brigitte, who is the same age as the Caldwell kids Alex and Katie enjoy everything that technology has to offer. Meanwhile Oliver and Jenny are trying to keep their relationship hush hush from the nosey reporters who are curious about what the two are up to and to top it off when Alex and Katie's grandma Nell enters she seems not pleased by the relationship of Jenny and Oliver. With the new president chair on stake Cassandra and Michael want to make sure Oliver doesn't take over what they think is rightfully theirs so they create a little distraction for Oliver and Jenny...

I think I preferred the first Au Pair because it was much more simple, but I don't have any complaints with Au Pair II. There are a lot more twists, more bad guys and a lot more fun. The kids Jake Dinwiddie and Katie Volding were great. Brigitte was played by Celine Massuger and even though she had a very good part, she was good, but her accent was annoying! Half the things she said made me just say huh? The English French accent was so hard to understand. Gregory Harrison again as the first Au Pair was fun to watch in a different role.

I really liked this movie....until the end. The acting seemed fake in the end...especially Grandma Nell. I thought the beginning was good, but then it got predictable. I mean, you knew the kids were only going to hear the bad stuff, and Oliver was going to believe Michael and Cassandra and not Jenny. I thought the first one was better because I always wanted to see it, and this one, I don't really want to. From the previews, I thought it would be good, but it really wasn't. Overall, I'd give it a 3.
