    Pleasant surprise
    I saw the title and expected something goofy. The beginning with the early scenes at the community center didn't convince me otherwise. But soon after it becomes apparent that this is basically the Nanny premise, even though I don't think that word ever came up. I'm glad the writers didn't use up a lot of screen time establishing Allie's unemployment. So many movies spend time setting up the unemployment, the-dumped-by-boyfriend, or up-for-promotion premise. The scene at the community center was needed to establish relationships that come into play later.

    The tone of the movie is quite upbeat with a couple of minor exceptions. The rival girlfriend is gone fairly quickly. Once the premise of the nanny at Christmas is established, the plot is predictable with one exception. Clearly there is going to be a conflict just before the climax, but this conflict was a poor choice. Personally, I don't see how anyone with Allie's experience with kids could have allowed it to happen.

    Rebecca Dalton and Aaron Ashmore has a nice chemistry. I've seen Dalton before a few times and I thought this role was good for her. She does the optimistic artistic woman very well. She is also a very beautiful woman which probably causes some people to dismiss her acting.
