As my title suggested, I only watched this film for one reason and it was the only reason it got me through its entire runtime. There was nothing about this movie that hasn't been done before, by more talented and capable people. This is another "crazy babysitter" film that ends up being something a bit more overreaching, but the ending could be seen from a mile away when you pay attention to how crazy everyone is.
It's incredible how the people who script these types of movies don't at least try to be somewhat original with the premise, if not with the execution. Anything but what was given would have been preferable, but it's like they go with the lowest common denominator to come to a script that is the least...what, exactly? Palatable? Inoffensive? Reaches the biggest audience? You can't make real art if you are trying to reach "the masses", and the people behind this movie would have done themselves a huge favor if they just pushed the envelope with this, even by a little.
Again, watch this for the eye Candy that is Olivier. The rest of it can be brushed under the carpet and forgotten.
