Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Angela The movie is like a fairytale, so children of the right age will like it. What I don't like about the movie is the way it butchers cities. It shall play in Paris and Vienna? All I can see is Budapest - which is a beautiful city too, by the way. But why claiming to be somewhere else and then showing pictures of Budapest's world famous Parliament house and suspension bridge? And while they inserted shots of the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph of Paris, I didn't see a single picture of any sight in Vienna. The second thing I really didn't like was the way the farmers "40 km outside of Vienna" were depicted. The whole set reminded me more of the museum of mountain farmers in the 19th century "Peter Roseggers Waldheimat" then of my uncles farm which is situated 60 km outside of Vienna.

zeo1 This film was great all the way trough and I think it will appeal to a a lot of people. The children in it were excellent and aloough they are not that well known I have seen other work by them and can Tell they are very talented in what they do and I think that Jake Dinwaddie is one of the best child actors I have ever seen.

harrow_jeremy Sitting at home on a Sunday night, expecting an average sort of telemovie to come on and occupy my otherwise boring night. Well I definitely was wrong. Au Pair was probably the worst film I have seen in my entire life. Your traditional cliched plot was something with which almost made me run away, and the fact that you know how everything will happen right from the word go is unbelievably annoying. The acting in this film represents that of the 'BAD telemovie' community very well. I normally have some understanding with telemovies, expecting them not to be brilliant but slightly entertaining, but this really is HORRIFIC for the telemovie image. The fact that this film is advertised as a family flick repulses me to the extent of running away to gasp for air, and wash my self because it is so dirty. Not dirty in your sexual or violent way but for the fact that a film could be this bad, and yet still make it on to TV screens. If this is what families of today are meant to sit down and watch together, then I am afraid we are looking at a very simple minded and uneducated future, with appauling senses of humour.If only there were a rating on IMDB lower than 1... Be Afraid of this film BE VERY AFRAID!

abalogh Altogether a charming little piece, but it was pathetic to see that except a 20 second shot showing the obvious Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, almost the whole movie was shot in Hungary's lovely Budapest and Szentendre - without giving any due credit (except the Hungarian signs all over the place). For all those that are "sucker for movies that take place in Paris" - sorry to disappoint you ;-)
