AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

paulclaassen A psychological thriller at its best. Rebecca De Mornay is very good as the sweet, sensitive nanny, yet so disturbed at the same time. This is essentially a story about revenge gone wrong. Rebecca plays a woman who poses as a nanny to avenge the woman she believes is responsible for her husband's suicide and her miscarriage as a result of what happened. In the process she tries to take everything from Claire (played by Sciorra). Annabella Sciorra was ok in her role, but the way she used the asthma pumps were just not believable. Anyone and everyone who has or knows about asthma will immediately know the pumps will provide no relief whatsoever the way she handles them. Despite that, this was a very good film.

Mike LeMar The Sitter (2007) and When the Bough Breaks are the others. This would've gotten a higher rating if it hadn't been for its climax, which was also predictable. When the sitter's ordered to leave, which she does willingly, you knew that's because she'd be back. And when she came back, of course it was a clever plan on how to get into the house. Once in, and in control, she kept leaving a family member unsubdued, turning her back on him/her and walking away so he/she could do whatever he/she wanted until it finally cost her fatally. You carry this cool plan out on how to get back in only to then go around the place like a complete moron.

Parker Lewis I was sad to hear of the recent death of Curtis Hanson at 71, and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle rocks big time. Rebecca De Mornay was robbed in not getting an Oscar nomination. Her menacing nature without saying a word was captivating, and it's hard to imagine any other actress playing the babysitter.Good to see Matt McCoy move on from Police Academy to be the leading man in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. The scene where Rebecca's character almost seduces Matt's character was tense, and I do wonder if the DVD has a deleted scene where he did succumb to her wiles, and who knows what.Annabella Sciorra also was a standout in this, as was Ernie Hudson, who was my favorite Ghostbuster by the way.

Erin R I don't know how this movie has such good reviews. I found this movie to be really boring, and the characters really stupid. Maybe I'm just a suspicious person, but if some random person showed up at my house looking to be my nanny, I'd be a little creeped out, and I certainly would ask more than one question in the interview. Not to mention all the strange things that suddenly start happening after she shows up. Not to mention, if I was a little girl and I saw my nanny dragging a little boy around by the arm and swearing at him, I'd be scared, and I'd certainly two my parents. Beyond all that, I just found the pace to be really slow with not many thrills.
