    I have very conflicting emotions about this movie. On the one hand I love what it is and the story and the cinematography work very nicely on paper. Yet on the other hand I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wouldn't want to whatch it anyway.

    The plot doesn't leave enough range for emotion except shouting and crying.
    The cycle of shouting, kissing and crying, quiet and then shouting again made us turn the movie off after about 70 minutes.

    Beautiful, great performance, could be so much more though = 2.5 Stars

    Now this is a movie id advise anyone to watch.

    The structures story still keeps all the aspects of what one would expect from a French movie.

    It's not Hollywood but it's honest. My personal highlight when I get to recommend it. = 4 Stars

    Yet after a slow start the plot takes a fun pace, with new version of the groudhog day plot device. The story is somewhat unique, although the…

    This is one of the movies close to my heart.

    One of the Disney successes, that outlived its generation and moved into the next shows the true qualities the disney musicals had. It has since been rebooted in many different versions. The story of the majical nanny might been one of those wishes children will allways have: A companion to furfill there wildest dreams.
