La nouvelle nounou

I thought this was good fun, certainly one of the better Hallmark films, with it being nice to see a Halloween themed one too.

Nice chemistry between the leads, a good story being told - I liked this.

Great autumn scenery and a good, enjoyable story.

A little silly in some areas, but overall nice seasonal movie. I would watch again next Autumn

Rating scaled for the genre and category.

Poppy Summerall (Ashley Williams) is a flighty free-spirit unable to commit to any job or love. It's Halloween. She gets a job from her sister as a nanny for workaholic app developer Ryan Larson (Sam Jaeger) and his two kids.

Ashley Williams dials up her wackiness up to eleven. If she's younger, she would be classified as a manic pixie dream girl. Her Cheshire cat smile fits the role very well. The leads are fine. The story is fine. The triangle is fine. The kids are fine. It's fine Hallmark and not much more.

"She" is a 30-something lady, very cheerful, but endures getting fixed up with loser blind dates. One even says "I hope you are a size 2, my mother's old wedding dress would fit you." Then she finds out about a man who needs a nanny for his two kids, a girl about 10 and a boy about 8. So she decides to try it out.

"He" is a very nice 30-something whose wife died a bout 4 years earlier. His problem is he is a workaholic, he is developing a new "app" and is on rack to sell the idea to a Japanese company. He seems to put work ahead of his two kids always, and they notice it, and they aren't happy about it.

This is a Hallmark movie so we pretty well know, early into it, how things will turn out. But it is fun and entertaining to see how they get there.

All and all pretty entertaining, my wife and I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.

Ashley Williams plays Poppy Summerall who is nothing more than a big kid herself as after running through a bunch of jobs to find a career that she is suited for she ends up temporarily working as a nanny to a handsome widow's two challenging children.

Poppy is temporarily living with her sister Megan and her two kids and she is temporarily single...but after a rough start with her two charges she slowly wins them over. It helps that it is almost Halloween...and like I said Poppy is nothing but a big kid herself. (Of course I am wondering where Poppy got the money to buy all of those Halloween decorations.)

Our widowed father, Ryan, soon realizes how well Poppy fits into their family, his life, and his heart.

"Wait till she's a teenager!"-Poppy.
