Fresh and Exciting

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

Sarah (Imogen Stubbs) dies during childbirth leaving Jack (Richard E. Grant) alone with baby Sarah. Jack struggles with his job and the baby. He becomes a drunk with drinking buddy William (Ian McKellen). The grandparents force him to face his responsibilities. He cleans up his act and William turns out to be a good babysitter. It's hard to work as a high stress lawyer while taking care of a baby. After getting waitress Amy (Samantha Mathis) fired, he hires the inexperienced American as the nanny. His mother Margaret (Judi Dench) keeps trying to interfere.It's a touching tragic romance at the start. It turns into a little bit of Mr. Mom. After 40 minutes, Mathis is finally introduced and it becomes a rom-com. The comedy is a bit light and gets a couple of small laughs. The romance is messy. I would have preferred to meet Mathis earlier. This has its moments and features some good actors. The characters are nice and the story is endearing.

that was one of the cutest movies I have seen in a while. The baby was just adorable. Eventough I was five when it first came out I saw it. I really didn't understand what it was about and why my mom was so sad. I just like the music. Now that it is ten years later. I can understand it this time and fully appreciate the trials and tribulations that Jack went through to ensure the survival of his daughter. There are some big name actors in the movie. Even though they probably weren't big at the time of the release a lot of things can change in ten years. I would recommend this movie to anyone who asks about a a movie with a baby and a it was a love story.

I spent an hour hoping this movie was going to finally get in gear before deciding it just wasn't going to happen. It has its moments, but the story is ridiculous, as are the actions of the characters, the humor is mild and the drama is maudlin. While the main problem is the drab script and pedestrian direction, the movie is also harmed by Mathis' performance. This is not to say that she is particularly bad, but she is not warm and loving and charming to make the film's absurd premise work. She seemed kind of ordinary, and that is exactly what the role does not call for. I like Grant, and he's decent in this, although I think he only really shines in more prickly roles. This just doesn't make it.

A total chick flick (gotta admit) but just cute cute cute.An american woman falls into a nanny job for a recent Brit widower and finds herself over her head --- in love with the baby, and the dad.Funny performance by Richard E. Grant, Ian McKellan, Judy Dench (always a gem!) and Samantha Mathis. Life is just a series of mishaps, conflicts and comedy for this Yank in London until she finds love (what else would we expect) --- a good way to spend a Saturday night in front of the boob-toob --- do not expect to be enlightened but do expect some laughter and tears --- it is romantic and emotional (his secretary is a hoot, his boss is a bitch who you love to see dumped on her tight snooty ass!) --- a nice two hours to spend coming away with a smile!
