      Demented N Tracy Nelson is a great unlucky actress loved her as a kid in father dowling a sass mouthing street wise Nun some very dark episodes. But Unlucky in the scence a few failed poilits and Father Dowling getting cancled over politics in the height of its fame. This movie needed as I call it the Carrie Fisher seal of approval she was a renowned script editor the direction is also a bit odd, Tracey Needed to be more Bette Davis than Rose from the Golden Girls Spoilers and Plot ahead, Crazy Lady is set free from an Asylum but it looks more like she is going on maternity leave (not her weight) just the casual way the nurse is saying bye and how eveyone else is casually ignoring her leaving. Anyhow writing this makes it sound better than it it is, a crazy nanny living in the world of a (fake) Jane Austin style authors books, she works for a nanny angency under a fake name as a receptionist, anyhow she finds out a dr needs a nanny and recognised his name he wrote a medical book and she has a soft spot for him she makes up a fake resume that would make princess Diana look like Jack the Ripper, she alsos didn't account that the other applicants would be better qualified and this triggers her so she gose on a killing spree, that spirals out of controle. One Star 🌟 for Tracey! One 🌟 for effort even if there is lack off, but remember it's only a TV movie I can't help but think there could of been prequel Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Very predictable. It could've been better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical... Predictable... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tracy Nelson, who I am assuming plays the lead role, is nothing to be desired. She wants to seduce this brain doctor because she's "in love" *cough* obsessed *cough* with him. She's very awkward looking with a weird voice. <center> Anywho </center> This movie proves exactly why if you're going to lie, you're going to have to be good at it...or you will get caught. Well, I will give this movie some props. It had me interested, though the plot was cliche and overdone...like most Lifetime movies. lol Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member the perfect nanny is the nanny gone crazy. this movie looked to be one which could had been done for lifetime channel except for maybe the first 5 minutes of the movie. but then again that also could had been edited. it is the story of this woman who is obsessed with romantic novels to the point where she starts believing that if she plans out her life correctly they will come true. after finding out her husband is cheating on her, she volunteers herselves to a pshy ward later to be released and she starts her new life as a nanny for a doctor. but when people start to try to break them apart at least in her eyes, well they need to be taken care off. this movie while might be a bit over the top eas quite entertaining and i do recommended it. it is not much of a thriller but defently a drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. What a crazy nanny. Definitely have to be careful with who you hire.
