    Pretty decent lifetime movie

    This is a pretty solid Lifetime thriller- there's some drama, action, and mystery. Pretty original compared to other lifetime movies. Nothing revolutionary, but hey, it's lifetime.

    Well, that's an hour and a half I'll never get back.

    Started off promising (for a Lifetime movie). You always knew who the "bad guy" was, and expected some big twist, but it never really happened. Like other reviews said, nothing was ever explained, although, by the end, you kind of stopped caring. I actually like cheesy Lifetime movies, but this cheese was moldy. (Ok, that's bad, but I had to do it!)

    If you've seen The Captive Nanny..

    If you saw The Captive Nanny that played earlier in the week, then you already know the plot of The Au Pair Nightmare. This movie doesn't just ask you to suspend disbelief, it also asks you to suspend all thinking. The plot is filled with holes. The acting is below the Lifetime standard Lifetime for acting (which is saying a lot). From the beginning of the film, you will keep asking yourself what is going on. Then the ending is weird because it doesn't exactly explain the "why". Stay away from this one (and The Captive Nanny).

    Bizarre movie with an even stranger plot!

    Taylor becomes an au pair to a wealthy couple who have a young daughter and finds out how strange they really are and hiding a dark secret. What could it be? The beginning of the movie was innocent enough but the movie unraveled after an hour and completely fell apart with too much overacting and a handsome dude who never appears! Disappointed!

    Fun flick

    Enjoyed this little thriller. The nanny character is actually played by a good actress!! It's straight forward but enjoyable. The plot never drags and the acting is pretty good.

      The "romance" movie that they are watching is actually another Lifetime thriller movie, Escaping Dad, which is actually about a woman running from her abusive husband. Not quite a romance to show a kid.
