The first half of "The Nanny" has an intriguing air of ambiguity: we have a smooth-talking nanny who may be a nut and a spoiled, rude little boy who may be acting this way simply because he feels trapped and scared. Who is guilty and who is innocent? Unfortunately, we learn the answer to that question too early, and after that the movie gets increasingly predictable. The performances are excellent (the actor who plays the kid steals the show), but the film suffers from lumbering pacing.
