Featured reviews
Altogether a charming little piece, but it was pathetic to see that except a 20 second shot showing the obvious Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, almost the whole movie was shot in Hungary's lovely Budapest and Szentendre - without giving any due credit (except the Hungarian signs all over the place). For all those that are "sucker for movies that take place in Paris" - sorry to disappoint you ;-)
Gregory Harrison and Heidi Lenhart (Oliver Caldwell, Jenny Morgan) have that certain chemistry that makes this film enjoyable. Jenny needs a job so she takes a job as a nanny to the Caldwell residence. Oliver has two children that are little "monsters" that bring terror to adults. Oliver is engaged to Vivian Berger, a snobbish and cold-hearted woman. Vivian doesn't care for the kids and becomes jealous of Jenny. A bond of love develops between Jenny and the kids as the "terrors" become "matchmakers." Vivian has her own plans to derail the kids and Jenny which is successful. The plot is very predictable and yet you fall in love with Jenny and those "brats." Can Oliver see past the schemes of Vivian? Will Jenny and Oliver marry? A very entertaining film for the whole family.
This film was great all the way trough and I think it will appeal to a a lot of people. The children in it were excellent and aloough they are not that well known I have seen other work by them and can Tell they are very talented in what they do and I think that Jake Dinwaddie is one of the best child actors I have ever seen.
Although it's nice to see so much wealth, beautiful European cities, landscapes and the leading actress, all in the sun, the plot is as cliche as cliche can be.
A total Sound of Music rip-off, it even plays in Salzburg a while, but on the average; pretty nice to digest.

This is my favorite movie! It is funny, cool and I loved Jenny Morgan! The kids were bratty and you wanted to kill them, but so what, they were great and by the end you will love them as much as the rest of the fun, cute and funny movie. although I do think the formula is unoriginal and the film probably tried too hard, but still not stopping the 10/10 from me!
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Katie and Alex take Jenny to buy new clothes, in the original airing and primary subsequent airings, the song Pretty Woman was played, however, in more recent airings, the song has been changed, and is very noticeable, since all the cues were to the original song.
- GoofsUpon the family's arrival in Vienna to the Caldwell's palace, the staff is speaking Italian; however Vienna is located in Austria, not Italy. It seems they confused Vienna with Venice as the palace does appear in the Hapsburg style.
- Quotes
Jennifer 'Jenny' Morgan: I heard about your good news, congratulations, the children will finally have a mother again.
Vivian Berger: Oh, I wouldn't go that far, boarding schools in Switzerland are year-round you know.
