Au Pair (1999)

Very disappointed :(

good back-story, and good acting

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie is like a fairytale, so children of the right age will like it. What I don't like about the movie is the way it butchers cities. It shall play in Paris and Vienna? All I can see is Budapest - which is a beautiful city too, by the way. But why claiming to be somewhere else and then showing pictures of Budapest's world famous Parliament house and suspension bridge? And while they inserted shots of the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph of Paris, I didn't see a single picture of any sight in Vienna. The second thing I really didn't like was the way the farmers "40 km outside of Vienna" were depicted. The whole set reminded me more of the museum of mountain farmers in the 19th century "Peter Roseggers Waldheimat" then of my uncles farm which is situated 60 km outside of Vienna.

Au Pair is such a heartwarming movie for the whole family. I especially love Gregory Harrison's role as Oliver. It was nice to see Jane Sibbett as a villain, since she played a great one in the movie "It Takes Two" with the Olson twins. Jane Sibbett always handles great roles which involve her as mean, annoying and the character that makes everything going great for her and not for everybody else, until the kids prove it. I love how Heidi Lenhart played Jennifer Morgan. She really showed how her intelligence and confidence can help with all the unexpected things that happen to her in this movie. All of the characters played their part very well and should've made people put this movie on video cassette or DVD. I especially love how well the actors of the kids did. They looked like they enjoyed acting with Heidi Lenhart and Gregory Harrison. I babysit as a job, and most of the kids really enjoyed this movie.

I really liked this movie. The acting was pretty good, and I LOVED the scenes in Europe. What can I say...I'm a sucker for movies that take place in Paris. Even though those kids were somewhat annoying, they didn't bother me so much, that i would change my opinion on the movie. I also love that actress who plays the step mom-to-be. she is really funny, and has a history of playing those types of characters. Remember "it Takes Two"? Yea, that was her. Anyways, this was a great movie, and it was really worth watching.

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!
