A Nanny for Christmas (2010 TV Movie)
2/10
1 star for the actual stars of this movie: the kidss
26 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Picked this up on a lark at a thrift store for $1.

By the end of watching it, I had a migraine so bad from trying to understand where they were going, if they were following the 'nanny-not-nanny dates the bigwig of company (or companies)', or is this to end up a 2-guys-likes-1-gal scenario in the end, and 'why is the side guy the lead and the lead name on the cover in a throwaway role??'.

The only thing that is likable in this movie are the kids, only because they play the naive intelligents.

You expect them to follow the 'be nice in front of mommy but be total arses to the nanny' role, but end up being darlings to someone they know within 2 seconds isn't an actual nanny. Sure, let's go with that, as if how their parents has been neglecting them physically, mentally, and emotionally for years is not going to affect them negatively.

What kid eats flax smoothie bowls that cheerfully? I'm looking at you boy!

This is supposed to be a Christmas romance movie, but with so many potential unanswered subplots that could have been the main plot of other films casually tossed in as teased one-line answers to unasked questions within the first 20 minutes, and over-the-top acting in the only 4 2-minute scenes he had by the person set up as the main draw of this movie (Hello, 90s TV Superman, we're looking at you!) that, if they followed the cover, should have been either the single dad or the uncle that leaves his would be relationship for the accidental nanny he hurriedly hired.

I am in need those Tylenol and bottle of rum for that shot of eggnog now.
