When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The perfectly bad opening has wide-eyed psycho "romance novel" reader Tracy Nelson (as Andrea McBride) walking in on scruffily sexy husband Darren Gray Ward (as Troy Hatfield) with an arousing blonde. She stabs herself and not the blonde, which understandably lands Ms. Nelson in a mental hospital. Upon release, Nelson takes a thankfully more natural approach to knife wielding. In the future, she will only stab herself when absolutely necessary. Nelson fantasizes about a romance similar to the one in her favorite novel "The Passion of Mandy". She gets a job as "The Perfect Nanny" by stealing the resume of "Nikki Harcourt" and lands a job working for Southern California neurosurgeon Bruce Boxleitner (as James Lewis)... In the hospital, it's easy to tell he's a good guy by comparing Mr. Boxleitner's height and hair count with rival Scott Alan Smith (as Doctor Conrad). Attracting ex-model Susan Blakely (as Julia Bruning), the widower Boxleitner has two children, college-bound Dana Barron (as Fawn) and gullible young Scott Terra (as Ben). The boy boasts an IQ of 162, but daughter Dana turns out to be the smartest branch on the family tree. Getting wiser and visibly older in close-ups, Ms. Barron suspects there's a rotten nanny in the house. Livening up events is ditsy mother Katherine Helmond (as Rebecca McBride), who proves some apples don't fall far from the tree. Nelson and her trashy family are perfectly cast, and watching Barron unravel the plot is dumb fun. ****** The Perfect Nanny (2000) Robert Malenfant ~ Tracy Nelson, Bruce Boxleitner, Dana Barron, Katherine Helmond

I think this is one of the best thrillers i've ever seen, really this movie has shock suspense scenes, is one of those movies where you don't know what is going to happen in the next scene.Well the movie started as a low budget movie that makes you think that it won't be good, but then it starts with the crazy obsession of the Nanny with her boss, and then the boss' daughter knows what she is planning but nobody trust her, because everybody is trapped with the charm of the nanny, and then Nanny is taking out all the obstacles in her way to get the doctor's love.It is a very frightening movie, i liked it very much, i really think that a 4.6 is not a good rating for this excellent movie.

Loved this movie. I thought it was superbly DONE! I know this might shock some movie goers but it was totally entertaining. The lead actress was delightful. I enjoyed seeing her try to get her way come hell or high water. I couldn't believe I was actually cheering her on in her exploits. She was exceptional and totally believable. I disagree with the comment that it was poorly written. Loved it! Bruce B and Katherine H couldn't have been better in their roles. The Great Katherine H displayed just the right amount of creepster and made you understand why the lead actress was the way she was. I think she got the shishkabob just like she deserved. Then at the end it was fantastic when Bruce turns into the love that she dreamed so much of having.

Fantastic movie, pity if the story can be extended longer and this will make it more interesting.Some same plot with other movie except this one glues me to the seat. It happen to be premiere on HBO.By the way, the beginning and ending are perfect, that is what i like in a movie.
