Entertainment in a very realistic kids movie., 20 June 2001
10/10
Author: GillianJolie from Sunnyvale, Californiia

I loved this movie. I think Michelle did an excellent job as Harriet. I also like the realness of the movie. Kids do eat weird things and get dirty. I also liked the adventures the nanny, Rosie O'Donnel, took the kids on. Overall it was a very fun and entertaining movie that even little kids will like.
