But I have a question about the "homemade cookies"...those are some seriously professionally decorated cookies; Poppy can't commit to anything, too flighty to stick around long enough at a pizza shop job to flip pizza dough more than twice before quitting, yet we're supposed to believe she whipped up those perfect cookies without quitting when she messed up the 1st hundred she tried? I know this is Hallmark, but puh-leeze. Let the kids decorate like I do, a glob smeared with a knife because a straight line with decorative frosting isn't a kid's strong suit.

See how lightweight this cute little movie is? I was able to share my obsession with the cookies and not miss an important piece of dialogue!

Director Lynne Stopkewich turns up the perkiness of this Hallmark Halloween movie as far as it will go in this story about unable-to-commit Ashley Williams taking a job as a nanny for work-addled Sam Jaeger's adorable children for two whole weeks.

Ms. Williams starts out as a free spirit, so free, in fact that it soon becomes obvious that this is her problem; she cannot commit to any job, date or relationship beyond her two fatherless nephews. When her sister gets her a job as a nanny for Mr. Jaeger's motherless son and daughter, the only thing keeping her there is that this is, after all, a Hallmark romantic comedy.

Like many of them, this is slight to the verge of being invisible. However, Ms. Williams' perpetual quizzical smile makes it eminently painless.

Would have been actually good if they had written in a personality for the dad. No reason for either woman to be attracted to him. Plus he was way over board clueless. Not criticizing acting so much as script.
