Kim Newman Empire Magazine Hogan proved himself a better actor when pretending that American wrestling is a real sport, and the production team that brought you the Mannequin movies can add another excruciating dud to their CV. Rated: 1/5 Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Derek Adams Time Out [Hogan] doesn't take himself too seriously either, which could prove his downfall - that and excruciating movies like this. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Variety No one goes to see a Hulk Hogan movie for cutting-edge moviemaking, and Mr. Nanny will be no exception. May 8, 2005 Full Review John Ferguson Radio Times Director Michael Gottlieb lacks the flair to stage the ingenious slapstick that made the first Home Alone movie such a massive hit. Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2020 Full Review TV Guide Mr. Nanny is of little interest to any audience other than pre-teens.

Audience Member ICH BIN VOLLER ANMUT UND GRAZIE, HUCH Sean Armstrong muss als ehemaliger Wrestler auf zwei verzogene Kinder aufpassen. Die spielen ihm allerhand Streiche und machen ihm das Leben schwer, doch je mehr Zeit er mit ihnen verbringt desto besser versteht er wieso sie das machen. In der Zwischenzeit versucht ein Gangster an den Millionen Doller wichtigen Chip vom Vater der Kinder zu gelangen. Mr. Babysitter von 1993 geht ca. 84 Minuten und ist ab 12 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier eine Action-Komödie mit Hulk Hogan in der Hauptrolle und ich habe diesen Film als Kind geliebt und feier ihn noch heute. Dies liegt auch am Bösewicht der wohl den trivialsten Rachegrund in der Geschichte hat und zum anderen an der Dynamik zwischen Hogan und den Kindern. Die ganzen Streiche, die teils echt Lebensgefährlich sind, machen einfach nur Spaß. Ob er nun ne Bowlingkugel, den Duschkopf oder Mehl über den Kopf gezogen bekommt, die Mimik von ihm dazu ist einfach spitze. Die Story an sich ist simpel aber wirkungsvoll, früher brauchte man nicht über 2h um eine Geschichte zu erzählen und Charaktere zu entwickeln. Denn hier entwickelt sich wirklich jede Figur weiter, zwar alle recht kitschig aber es funktioniert. Die Action ist für früher 90er in Ordnung, die Musik hilft dabei ungemein besonders auf dem Speedboot. Die Sprüche sind klasse und versprühen herrlichen 90er Charme, aber der Bösewicht mit seiner Metal Platte im Schädel und wie er dazu kam ist einfach Comedy Gold. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das ich mir gern immer mal wieder geben kann, klar ist hier alles drüber und soll einfach nur Spaß machen, aber was mir am besten gefällt ist die Ansage von Armstrong an den Vater, das wenn er eh nicht für seine Kinder da ist er sie auch weggeben könne. Zum Schluss kann die Kindheitserinnerung mit der heutigen Sehgewohnheit mithalten. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Cameron L Haha, yes! This is my kind of bad movie. The story plot, characters, and Hulk Hogan was entertaining to watch, as everyone knows he's a horrible actor. My kind of guilty pleasure to enjoy of the early 90's Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 24 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Terry Gene Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Hulk Hogan never disappoints Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review steve d Embarrassing for all involved. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my god! I love mr. nanny. Hulk Holgen was great in it. Mr. nanny is one of the funniest comedy movies ever in my opinion. I like seeing hulk holgen in this movie. I like hulk holgen. I haven't really seen any of his films besides mr. nanny. Mr. nanny is a very good movie. I used to watch this movie all the time when I was very young. My grandmother had it on vhs and then she gave it to me. I remember watching it all over and over again. There is a lot of funny parts in it. It is hilarious. I could not stop laughing throughout the entire movie. I think my favorite scene in the movie is when nanny runs outside to his niece and nephew and he falls in the pool where it is all blood and he gets extremely angry at his niece and nephew. I laughed out loud. But once again it is a great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
