Lieutenant nounou

7/10 - entertaining mystery that plays like a classic Hallmark flick

No spoiler alert here is necessary as I am not about to give away any clues as to who is committing multiple burglaries in this Tony neighborhood or how the break-ins are occurring. Suffice to say that Detective Mike Logan (Cameron Mathison) agrees to go undercover as a nanny for a family of four which includes a young boy and girl who both need some guidance to achieve their extra curricular goals which their new nanny Detective Mike Logan is only too happy to provide.

While investigating the neighborhood burglaries, Detective Mike Logan is also getting to know the neighborhood nannies and he develops a special liking for neighborhood nanny Jessica White (Sarah Lancaster).

There are sufficient suspects to consider, and Detective Mike Logan's experience as a housekeeper/nanny remain questionable but the kids develop a love/hate/love relationship with him.

This is a very easy watching Lifetime TV film with some comedy and romance interspersed and no violence to speak of with a decent yet somewhat predictable ending for a Lifetime film.

I give it a passing grade 6 out of 10 IMDB rating.

I liked this movie. It was cute and funny at times and had a little excitement at the end. But the strange thing was they had 2 different dogs, a really old dog at the beginning and a much younger dog after the first scene of the dog. The movie kept you guessing who was the guilty person all the way though the movie. Also I didn't hear any loud sounds over the music.

I confess I had to look twice when I saw that Detective Mike Logan was going undercover as a nanny. I couldn't imagine Chris Noth from the Law And Order franchise doing this after he picked up his pension from the NYPD. However it was Canadian actor Cameron Matthison being an undercover nanny in this Hallmark Mystery film.

In the upscale neighborhood of Poplar Point there has been a rash of burglaries. Since this is a rich community Matthison gets the assignment to track down and apprehend those responsible and there are several though only one does the actual burglaries.

Matthison decides an unusual approach. He gets hired through an employment agency as an nanny and after a fashion proves adept at the job. He also gets a little romance going with Sarah Lancaster.

Typical Hallmark product, but I have to say the motive for all the burglaries is an unusual and original one for these films.

Worth seeing for that alone.

As Hallmark movies go, this one is very good indeed. Detective goes undercover as a nanny for a sunburn family in in order to crack a case. It has lots of twists and turns and it is a sure bet you will recognize half the cast from other tv shows you have seen. I recommend it highly James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/18/2021
