if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This movie is SO much better than the Vin Diesel movie "The Pacifier." Sure, it was funny to see a serious action star (the one from the very first "xXx" film) get in a big mess with several wacky children, but "Mr. Nanny" takes the cake as a very funny "man of the house" type of film! Why? Because of Hulk Hogan (or the American Tor Johnson, as I like to call him)! The DVD cover looks funny; and the movie is really funny, also. So people who like "The Pacifier," give up on that movie and come watch something more funny and more decent (if you know what I mean): "Mr. Nanny!" Oh, and don't forget a movie that goes an entire decade before this movie: "Mr. Mom!" Good stuff, they are!
When I rented Mr. Nanny I wanted to see if it's as bad as everybody rants. Well, they're all right.Hulk Hogan plays Sean Armstrong, a retired wrestler who takes a job as a bodyguard/nanny to protect a couple of spoiled rich kids who belong to a millionaire who is about to solve war with a computer chip. A evil mastermind named Thesanatos finds out about the chip and tries on occasions to kidnap the kids and hold them ransom for the chip. When the kids are captured it's up to Sean to save the day.First my impression of this movie, crap! I expected this to be a cute little movie with Hulk showing how he can act. Hogan can act but only in the size of a grain of sand. The kids are to annoying to care about and the father is a careless bum. Even the villain is an idiot. What are the odds of the villains head being shattered by the same man who he has to destroy years later when he tries to take over the world? This happens in the film, and it stinks! The villain had his skull crushed by Sean years ago and has it replaced with a metal plate, which by the way looks like tin foil. Now the film is filled with annoying actors, bad plots, stupid practical jokes that could never happen, and horrible villains. If you want your five year olds to be happy, make them watch this. If you want to sleep for an hour, watch this. If you want pure entertainment, watch something else. The only person in this whole film I actually liked was Sherman Hemsley, he had a few good lines but he falls flat playing a retired fight promoter gone cripple. Poor Hulk Hogan, I hope you learn from this mistake you made.
Hulk Hogan isn't an Oscar winner by any means, but he can act. His soft side is evident when he has to kiss the doll and sing corny songs. Hogan wasn't given much to work with here, so he had to take his money and run. Sherman Helmsley will drive you up a wall in this film, as will the spoiled rich kids.David Johanson (Buster Poindexter) makes an appearance as a weirdo trying to steal a chip worth millions from Austin Pendleton, the childrens father.A step down from No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando, but still watchable.**/****
Hulk Hogan gives the big screen another shot in this terrible little film that was thrown together in a pinch for some quick revenue. The former wrestling super-star decides to take a job as a bodyguard to protect an important man's young children. It seems that the man is being threatened because of a top-secret microchip that some unknown person wants. The typical insanity takes place in this mess that avoids the turkey due to Hogan's screen charisma and nothing else. 2 stars out of 5.
