The Royal Nanny (2022 TV Movie)
3/10
(Mostly) Good Acting, really bad script
9 December 2022
My DVR cut off the last minute of the film, so I don't know what the last line was - nor did I get to see the first kiss. Nothing could make me watch this movie again. In fact, I think I've seen elements of this before. Similar movies done much better: "A Crown for Christmas" and "A Princess for Christmas."

First, the good parts. For the most part, the acting was good - with the exception of the red-headed boss of the heroine. I'm guessing he was thinking, "Do I really need to say this drivel?" or "I'd make a much better lead than this guy you cast." Maybe, but I'd like to see him in a part his heart is really in.

There was great chemistry between the nanny and the children, and between the nanny and her mentor, and the nanny and her mentor. OK, let's just agree the lead actress and some of the supporting actors were pretty good.

The love interest was OK, but never really sold the part.

The script had more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese. Why would the country's richest man drive to visit a charity to which he didn't intend to donate, and why would the Prince host him if he only needed a 4- of 5-digit donations to reach his goal? How did the heroine become super nanny after only one day of training and no experience with children except for growing up in a children's home? And can you really save the world with an umbrella?

The scenery and the accents were a nice change of pace, but, well not one I'd watch again.
