This is a funny and cute romcom! It isn’t often that Hallmark combines suspense with romance, so this was a nice change from the usual. Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
There is a perceived threat to the royal family. In order to protect them, the Security Service is placing Claire and Wallace in undercover positions. Claire becomes Elle and Robert’s Nanny where she must handle the kids and their Uncle’s pranks while trying to figure who might be trying to hurt the royal family.
My Two Cents
I have a feeling this movie will grow on me like many of my favorites. Each time I watch it, I think I’ll like it a little more. I was worried it would attempt to compete with Crown for Christmas. I was excited when I realized it was quite different!
Typically I let movie inaccuracies go. But the ear pieces with the old school phone cords going down the back of the agents necks really bothered me. I doubt they would use ear pieces like that when they could use bluetooth devices. Similarly, Claire touching her ear when she was talking was annoying. I wouldn’t do that if I was trying to be covert.
Aside from those two things, I really enjoyed so much of this movie! Claire’s umbrella training and the spaghetti bucket prank were two of my favorites, but there were so many more wonderful romcom moments. Plus the pranks were something I would have done as a child to a nanny or babysitter.
Let’s not forget the reindeer toss game! I had to look it up to see if it was really a thing. Guess what!! It is!! Here’s a link in case you want to buy it for someone special 😉
Overall, this was a fun movie. I enjoyed the umbrella parts way more than I should have and now I really want one of those umbrellas and become my own version of Scary Poppins. LOL. Okay, maybe it’s time for bed. Have a good day/night everyone!
