Clemens (Matthias Schweighöfer) hat kaum Zeit für seine Kinder. Er plant gerade eines der größten Bauprojekte der Stadt und die Verträge sind so gut wie unterschrieben. Lediglich ein paar letzte Mieter müssen noch ihre Wohnungen räumen und der Bau kann beginnen. Doch als auch Rolf (Milan Peschel) seine Wohnung verliert, schwört er Rache und heuert undercover als männliche Nanny in Clemens Haushalt an. Sein Plan: Sabotage. Da hat er die Rechnung allerdings ohne Clemens Kinder gemacht. Die beiden haben es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, neue Nannies innerhalb kürzester Zeit aus dem Haus zu vertreiben. Dafür ist ihnen jedes Mittel Recht und sie zeigen bei der Wahl ihrer Waffen kein Erbarmen. So muss Rolf schmerzlich feststellen, dass Nanny sein kein einfacher Job ist und dass nun auch er zu härteren Mitteln greifen muss. Doch während er versucht, seine Wohnung und Heimat zu retten, entsteht aus seiner Sabotage mehr und mehr eine neue Familie. (Warner Bros. DE)

Matthias Schweighöfer is definitely skilled when it comes to the German comedy scene. I liked him in both Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves, and it's no different here, even if the humour is provided more by his children and Milan Peschel's nanny. Schweighöfer plays here a successful businessman who has no time for his kids and is looking for a nanny, but none of them lasts more than a day, because the children enjoy playing pranks and creating hell for the them (the scene where the children fake a murder in front of the nanny, where the brother cuts off his sister's hand with a chainsaw are great). Then a man walks into the apartment and wants revenge because Matthias wants to tear down their neighborhood, but they won't let him speak and immediately hire him as the new nanny. The first half of the film is really funny, Milan Peschel is such a right hoof and manages to entertain. The second half doesn't rely so much on humor, but I have to say it was really nice and touching. Overall a very feel good thing. 75%.

A nice and enjoyable comedy with a rather unconventional good idea. Clemens wants to tear down an old house downtown and build a new complex, but the residents are angry. They send one of their own to get rid of Clemens, but he ends up getting a job as a nanny with him, and the kids are such assholes and have made life hell for all the nannies so far. There are plenty of funny situations, occasionally the kids throw in a crazy line and the whole thing is such feelgood fun that follows the same template of all similar comedies, including happy ending. It’s not really that iconic or memorable or extremely funny, but for a one-off it is average enough.

Sure, it's shallow, and the conclusion left me feeling somewhat empty, realizing how silly and naive it all was, but I guess that was the point, something one had to brace for. The journey to that conclusion is nice though, I liked the characters, and the kids were just great, especially in the beginning when they're still little devils. I had fun and that was the purpose of the film. I'm satisfied.
