    I actually liked this one

    Let me start by saying the acting was decent and the plot was just a bit more intriguing than most "psycho nanny" movies.

    A couple has a baby via surrogate-- a young woman named Lily (who kind of looks like Misha Barton) who has supposedly been a surrogate once before. They found her while she was doing temp work for the husband. The wife, Monica is a lawyer and has a difficult past with her sister Jen and is also representing her in her custody battle. Jen has been acting erratically and has a hot temper, so Monica and her husband choose Lily to also be the baby's nanny.

    Strange things occur, including a near fatal accident. Is Jen that jealous and spiteful or is someone else (or more than one...?) plotting against Monica?

    This is not a cinematic masterpiece but it kept me entertained more than usual due to the strange dynamic between a few of the characters.

    Can't get past the sister's "acting"

    The sister (mother of ruby) acting/overacting is so horrible. It's hard to get past it, she overacted every scene. It was unhinged and not in a good way.....Otherwise the move was your typical lifetime movie with craziness and stalker...could have been much better with better acting.

    Double posting because they want you too write extra long reviews...

    When Jen is watching ruby from her car her mobile rings. Monica is calling her but it actually comes up as Jen on the phone. Therefore it looks like she is phoning herself.

    Another baby movie from Lifetime!

    Lily is surrogate for a couple, Monica and Brad, and they need a nanny. Enter Jen, Monica's sister, who is going through a messy custody battle was supposed to fill that role. But Jen's been acting out of control and they pick Lily, instead. Did the couple make the right choice? You'll have to tune in to find out. Good acting and script. Definitely worth a watch!

    Good TV movie

    A young women named Lilly is a surrogate for a couple and they hire the her as the nanny for the baby too. The sister of the couple is jealous that they chose Lilly rather than her. It's a good TV movie.

    Sarah Fisher is great at playing the villain. I watch just because Sarah Fisher is so wonderful as the villain.

    • Goofs
      Around 37 minutes, when Jen is inside her car watching her daughter play with her daddy's new girlfriend, her phone rings. The caller ID shows the name as Jen, whereas it should read as Monica since it is her sister calling.
