I caught this movie on HBO early morning one day, so I decided to give it a look. My opinion of the movie has definitely faltered since I watched it back in grade school, but at the same time it maintained my interest for the entire hour and a half. To be fair, a goofy comedy like this is aimed primarily towards children. That is not "totally" an excuse, but you can't view this movie in the same way you'd view "Citizen Kane." Hulk Hogan is no great actor. He can't even bump his head on a kitchen cabinet convincingly. But as mediocre as his talent is, he is somewhat fun to watch. It wouldn't be as funny to see an actor half his size in a ballerina outfit. But Hulkster doesn't give the worst performance. The film's weakest link is the disgustingly over-the-top performance by Buster Poindexter's David Johansen. It's no mystery why he's box office poison (i.e.: "Car 54, Where Are You," "Freejack"). Sherman Helmsley is completely over-the-top as well, but at least he provides some funny moments. Most of the jokes are lame and predictable, but if you're looking for mindless family fun, you can do a lot worse than "Mr. Nanny." But I enjoyed "Suburban Commando" a lot more. At least in that movie, the Hulkster had a talented actor like Christopher Lloyd to feed off.

I was expecting a complete bomb with this. I was pleasantly suprised. It actually didn't totally stink! Though, seeing Hulk Hogan in a Tutu is just... just... ***SHUDDER***

Tights, ok. Leotards? AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

That's enough to scare the strongest stomachs.

I was a kid when I watched this one, and even then I knew it was a "just OK" type of movie. Still, it had me laughing. Not long, and not hard, but I laughed all the same. My grandfather was passably amused as well--I think he got a kick out of watching me watching the movie. I rate this a 4 out of 10. Watch it with a ten year old on a rainy day; the kid will laugh, you'll smile at their laughter, and you'll kill some time until something good comes on TV. Oh, and this reminds me--the Hulk can act outside of the ring!

Well, sort of. I'd never want to see him in a serious role, but he pulled off this comedy bit well enough. I just think he should stick to wrestling.

Or retirement. Or whatever.

It angers me when films like this get such low ratings. I mean if your expecting an oscar winning film with hulk hogan the you can get to mars. This film is enjoyable to watch when your young and quite fun to watch when your a teenager as well as it brings back childhood memories. I was looking at the ratings for another childhood favourite - "ghost dad". i mean why can't people just enjoy the film and if you don't like it then quite simply change the channel!! Its not that hard a thing to do. Hulk Hogan is a funny guy to watch as a wrestler and as an actor and i think it is unfair that films with him in it are rated so low cos a lot of people enjoy his work. So every smart ass reviewer can just take him in the right context or not watch anything by him if they expect him to actto an oscar winning standard. Anyway i've had my little rant, i love films like this!

'Mr. Nanny' rides on the firm shoulders of Legendary Wrestler Turned Actor, Hulk Hogan, who despite being reduced to silliness, plays it sportingly & energetically.

'Mr. Nanny' Synopsis: A former professional wrestler is hired to be the bodyguard/nanny for a couple of bratty kids whose inventor father is being stalked by a rival.

As a film, there is hardly anything remarkable here. Its like watching a low-budgeted version of the Vin Diesel hit The Pacifier, but in totality, this early 1990's flick might appeal to kids. There are a few laughs here, which frankly, are its only appealing moments.

But Hogan is game here. He plays it to the gallery & even though he can't act too well, he still manages to give a sportive turn as Mr. Nanny.

On the whole, Only if you love Hogan, watch it.

Yesterday, Terry Bollea, aka 'Hulk Hogan', died. A friend of mine, Angelo, suggested I remember the Hulkster by watching "Mr. Nanny", one of the more notorious performances in his brief movie career. The film has a current overall score of 3.9...so I can assume it's actually better than some of his other starring films...such as "Santa With Muscles".

Sean (Bollea) is an out of work pro wrestler...a huge stretch for the Hulkster. However, his agent (Sherman Hemsley) gets him a job as a body guard for a rich guy, Mr. Mason. It seems some WAY over-the-top villain has been threatening him and insists he MUST have a top secret microchip...or else. Mason wants to Sean to guard his kids...essentially being their babysitter. However, they are brats...kind of like Kevin from "Home Alone" but instead of attacking burglars, they attack pretty much everyone because they are precocious brats. Their antics are supposed to be funny...I just thought they needed a dose of Wrestlemania on their behinds. Naturally, eventually Sean is going to have to spring into action to save these jerky kids. I would have just let them meet their maker or HELPED the villain!

The basic idea of this film could have worked. However, instead of trying to make it a serious drama or even a light comedy, it's a broad comedy...too broad. For example, David Johansen ('Buster Poindexter') plays the over-the-top 'Mr. Thanatos' (thanatos...literally 'death'). The kids' antics are also more akin to nasty comicbook kids than real kids. They are impossible to like...a big problem for any movie. I couldn't believe that they tortured Sean REPEATEDLY and almost killed him...and then one of the brats somehow lamented that 'I guess he doesn't like us!'. For young viewers, this sort of stuff might work (which explains many reviews which say they loved it as kids), but it's tough going for most adult viewers...and the 3.9 seems, in hindsight, a bit generous.

As I watched the movie, I couldn't help but think that Bollea deserved better. Why he agreed to this script...well, that's a bit of a puzzler. He is actually pretty good in the film and could act...but most of the rest of the movie is terrible and not even fun to watch on a camp level. The kids were bad actors, the housekeeper was awful and ridiculous, the direction was lazy, script was garbage and yet, oddly, Hulk was trying his best despite this. I sure wanted to remember him better than seeing him in this.

This is a pretty good 90's kid movie. Mr. Nanny shows Hulk Hogan doing a pretty good job acting. I don't understand why this movie only has 3.8 stars.

Sometimes you expect a certain something from a film. You expect it to just be good. At least. But the first impression when you hear of "Mr. Nanny" is instant nausea. Now, you might not know why this produces nausea until I lay down the plot for you. Think of image no. 1: Hulk Hogan as a babysitter wearing a tutu. While I freely admit that it doesn't sound promising, it's nevertheless astounding that the production team was able to take this simple idea and create one of the most monstrously agonizing motion pictures to come along this year. Now, here is image no. 2: Hulk Hogan giving a small child weapons training. Image no. 3: The child electrifying the school bully with his newfound weapons interest. Image no. 4: Hogan and Kid celebrating because Kid has electrocuted Bully in an awful manner.

What we have here is good material for a spoof. How funny would it be to see an eight-year-old electrocute his bully in a Farrelly Brothers movie? But it's not a spoof. The problem is that in "Mr. Nanny" it is not played as a spoof, but as the real thing. The kid supposedly electrocutes his school bully (for real), and we are supposed to feel happy because he has beaten the bully at his own game. That has to be the most sappy excuse for an emotional rush I've ever heard. I don't feel like celebrating with this kid, but rather arresting Hogan and ordering a restraining order on him.

Hulk Hogan plays down-on-his-luck ex-wrestler Sean Armstrong (get it, "Armstrong"?). He has long since exited the ring because of recurring nightmares involving violence in the ring. To give Sean something to do, his best buddy and manager, Barney (Sherman Hemsley), gets him a job as a bodyguard for computer genius Alex Mason (Austin Pendleton). Mason has invented a new super chip and a psycho is out to get it, so the engineer needs someone to look after his two motherless children (played by Raymond O'Connor and Madeline Zima). Reluctantly, Sean agrees, but only because they already have a nanny and his job will be strictly protection. No sooner has he arrived, however, than the nanny quits and Armstrong finds himself babysitting two demons.

A film like "Mr. Nanny" is intellectually insulting on all levels. You have to wonder what the producers and filmmakers were thinking when they gave the "OK" to this film. It doesn't have a plot. It doesn't have good acting. It doesn't even have a half-decent script. The only reason for this film, apparently, is so that Hulk Hogan could be shown in a ballet tutu.

Hulk Hogan can't act. His best performance was his three-liner in "Gremlins 2: The New Batch." So you can imagine how awful it is when the testosterone-junkie with the deep voice fills up the majority of screen-time in the film, and tries to teach a father the values of family interaction and why it's good to tell your kids you love them. Perhaps this would be good material for, say, a muscle-man that can act, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but "the Hulk" can't act half as good as Mr. Schwarzenegger, and most likely never will be able to.

Most of the apparent laughs in this film come at the expense of Hogan, and at the expense of every film it has borrowed from. It's a bunch of recycled gags posing as new ones. But it might as well be said that I expected it.

To name some of the recycled gags, here they are: He's hit on the head with bowling balls (see "Uncle Buck"), drenched with water (see "Dennis the Menace"), covered in flour (see "Dennis the Menace" a second time), and electrocuted (see "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York"). Not one of these instances is funny, and it isn't because we've seen it so many times before. And another thing that doesn't help this film at all is the inept direction of Michael Gottlieb. Such comedy, while once amusing in Home Alone, has long since worn out its welcome. Here, it's handled in such a pedestrian manner that it comes across with the audible clunk of a standup comic's joke falling flat. Don't see this movie, whatever you do. If you see it glaring at you in the video store with Hulk Hogan's god-awful smirk on his face, pass it up. Even if it looks like clean family entertainment. It is far from it. It is PG-13 material packaged in a sweet little box. It's not a film. It's merchandising, plain and simple.

There used to be a time when wrestling and Hulk Hogan where what Tony Hawk and skateboarding are today to children. Anything with Hawk sells and, at one time, anything with Hogan sold. Film execs knew this, and played to it. And that's all "Mr. Nanny" is: Marketing, plain and simple. Don't give any more money to these selfish corporations. They can live with what they did. "Mr. Nanny" was a spur-of-the-moment film made for cash-purposes. I'm surprised that all copies weren't burned after Hogan withered away into the recesses of "has-been," because this film stands out as a single merchandising attempt, and its time has long since passed.

MR. NANNY, in my opinion, is a very hilarious Hulk Hogan film. One of the best things about it is when he suffers all that torture. It's hard for me to say which part of the torture was the most hilarious. When Sean (Michael Keaton) met the kids, things really did get hilarious. Even though I thought that the kids (Robert Hy Gorman and Madeline Zima) were absolute brats at first, I still enjoyed their performances. Before I wrap this up, I must say that the performances were top grade and the cast was perfectly chosen. Now, in conclusion, if you are a fan of Hulk Hogan, you're in for a good time and lots of laughs, so see this movie today.

Whilst I didn't enjoy Mr. Nanny as much as Suburban Commando (released in 1991) it was still a decent enough film.

It was a comedy film and Hogan is quite good at comedy. Hogan isn't a bad actor either-after all we know wrestling is acting and Hogan's had plenty of experience in that.

The film was fairly entertaining and there were some good scenes in it although the kids did tend to get on my nerves at times.

It's a good film which I am sure most people would enjoy if they are in the right mood.

What does it take to make a winning movie? A winning combination in that movie. In Mr. Nanny, the combo was prowrestler and a babysitter. This movie should have one an Oscar for most unique concept, or perhaps the worst idea ever. I saw this flick when i was a kid and still thought it sucked. There were too many "what the hell?" moments in it to be good.

This has to be one of the worst movies of all time, even worse than 'Suburban Commando.'

Hogan may be the most popular wrestler ever, but he's also the worst. The only thing going for him is charisma. Don't get me wrong, this movie would suck with even the greatest of actors in it. Crappy plot, crappy jokes, crappy lead actor, et cetera, do you sense a pattern?

All in all, if you have seen this movie, I feel sorry for you and if you haven't, save yourself a headache and suicidal feelings and keep it that way.

Number 47 on the bottom 100 list? It only got about 3.0/10! It deserves at least 5.9/10!! This was a good, clever family film with plenty of laugh out loud scenes. Hulk Hogan is good with younger kids. It's funny to see the way they get along with eachother. Good, Clean Family Fun!

7/10 stars

Hulk Hogan isn't an Oscar winner by any means, but he can act. His soft side is evident when he has to kiss the doll and sing corny songs.

Hogan wasn't given much to work with here, so he had to take his money and run. Sherman Helmsley will drive you up a wall in this film, as will the spoiled rich kids.

David Johanson (Buster Poindexter) makes an appearance as a weirdo trying to steal a chip worth millions from Austin Pendleton, the childrens father.

A step down from No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando, but still watchable.

I used to hire this movie every time I went to the video store with my mum when i was eight years old. I used to think 'the Pit of Blood' who be fun to swim in and the magnetic weights were funny. I did not know hulk Hogan I just thought he was a really really big man. But I loved it when I was little, even the villain was funny to an extent.

But now eleven years later I watched it again. Funny how you remember what the lines were and the music lyrics in that long time. It brought back memories but sadly I now saw how weak it was in some areas; especially the stunts. How ever if you do not watch it critically and enjoy the humour I think anyone can enjoy it.

What really amazed me was little Madeline Zima's acting; she was not excellent but I thought she gave a great effort in fact she reminded me of me when I was a little girl. How many times had I screamed at my brother to get what I want.

Overall it is a weak movie but keep an open mind, it was made in the early nineties, also what Hulk Hogan gets up to with Madeline I think is priceless. How often do you see a wrestler in a tutu with curly hair in ribbons.

Wow! I recently saw this movie on TV, and even though it's 10 years after release, the power of this film is undiminished. Hogan has never been known for making conservative films, but Mr.Nanny breaks all the rules. It shatters boundaries and takes the audience places I didn't know a movie could. It may be quite experimental, and thus not for everyone's tastes, but it features a tour-de-force performance by Hulk Hogan reminisent of his unforgettable RIP Thomas. Probably the most mind blowing thing for me was reading that a lot of the Hulkster's on screen time was adlibbed, and that some of the most poignant lines in the film weren't actually in the script. A true modern classic.

This movie is perfectly stupid. However, there's so much ridiculous stuff that must've been intentional. Go into this movie knowing the movie knows what it's doing is stupid and that's what makes it funnier than it should be. Is Hogan a terrible actor? Of course. But Sherman Hemsley and David Johansen are great. I went into this expecting it to be laughably horrible but it turned out to be exactly that with a few moments that are hilarious.
