What a movie!
It tells the story through the eyes of a nanny who works for a rather rich family.
All the stereotypes are in place - the philandering husband, the botox-ing wife, the neglected yet lovable child.
BUT, this young lady is a college graduate. Her mother, who is a nurse and a single parent, has put her through college and thinks her daughter is working in the finance industry.
There is a neighbour - a "Harvard Hottie" as he is officially called in the film (and it took me this long to discover that Chris Evans is sooooo much more than Captain America (my loss, entirely).
Unfortunately, all the cliches are true, which makes this a tragic-comic tale of every day life, love, betrayal, and hope.
The technicals are adequate. The casting is spot on, the costumes less so.
This film is like a day in early spring - not perfect, but pretty darn close.
My favourite part? The Mary Poppins reference. Absolutely brilliant!
