I didn't expect great depth from this film, but thought it might be entertaining. Instead, it was annoying because of the corny lines and ham acting, totally unbelievable and largely predictable. I've seen better acting school plays than than this film. It starts, predictably enough from the title, with a working mum who wants to spy on her nanny after an accident the old one. Along comes a girl in the nick of time making cow eyes at her husband and being the new bf of her 5 year-old. Of course she's a psycho with a dark past, who tries to frame the wife, seduce the husband & abduct the daughter. The whole thing comes to a sticky, if predictable, end, although the last scene, the "twist", I hadn't guessed, although I don't think it added anything to the film. It was the lack of depth to the characters, the weak dialogues and wooden acting which make the whole thing rather risible and tedious. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law wanted to watch it to the end, along with gasps of "oh, what a bad girl" which was more amusing than the film itself. I'm glad she enjoyed it.

This film sounded like it was going to be like.. basic instinct or fatal attraction but it was nowhere near as good. The film starts with busy mum and dad needing to replace the dementia suffering nanny.. and of course a hot seemingly perfect teenage heather comes along at the right time. The dad and child love heather and that's her plan. Meanwhile the mum is becoming increasingly suspicious of little miss perfect - and with good cause. When left alone heather is poisoning the little girl against her mum, then drugs and sleeps with the dad ensuring it's all on the nanny cam. I didn't enjoy this movie because the story was slow and predictable with no excitement at all. From start to finish you can guess what will happen next . acting was OK. Not great. It doesn't compare to similar movies and I. Would not recommend

the movie starts out OK but there is no way a person can crash out of a 2 story window and get up and walk away for sure she would have ruptured her spleen and a fetus would never never survive a fall like that!!!! insults my intelligence....so the ending with her on a bus holding a baby she claims she named after the father (mark) is fantasy on the writers part!! clearly not the true ending if this was based on a true story and are we to believe the cops in that town are to stupid do really investigate the murder/suicide of the old lady.... please like to know the real story if the nanny/babysitter died, did they arrest the foster dad as he was a pervert, nail gun to the chest did they really save the husband, why did the family move away????

Lifetime Movie Network got it right this time with a great spin on the age old "hand that rocks the cradle" concept!I'll give no spoilers here, only to say that they did just enough tweaking on the thriller movie concept that was undoubtedly done best when played by the beautiful Rebecca De Mornay as the sexy-psycho-sitter, Peyton.LMN kept all the key factors that made this type of thriller work, and added a few, fresh concepts that really, really did work all in favor of the movie.All 3 of the key characters were, IMO, perfectly cast for each of their respective roles in the "love triangle", so to speak, with the husband/wife duo, and pulling up the rear is the devious lolita nanny, Heather.Impressive, IMO, when looked at for exactly what it is..a made-for-TV- movie!..Watch and enjoy, I say.
