Reviews
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
guyfromjerzee I caught this movie on HBO early morning one day, so I decided to give it a look. My opinion of the movie has definitely faltered since I watched it back in grade school, but at the same time it maintained my interest for the entire hour and a half. To be fair, a goofy comedy like this is aimed primarily towards children. That is not "totally" an excuse, but you can't view this movie in the same way you'd view "Citizen Kane." Hulk Hogan is no great actor. He can't even bump his head on a kitchen cabinet convincingly. But as mediocre as his talent is, he is somewhat fun to watch. It wouldn't be as funny to see an actor half his size in a ballerina outfit. But Hulkster doesn't give the worst performance. The film's weakest link is the disgustingly over-the-top performance by Buster Poindexter's David Johansen. It's no mystery why he's box office poison (i.e.: "Car 54, Where Are You," "Freejack"). Sherman Helmsley is completely over-the-top as well, but at least he provides some funny moments. Most of the jokes are lame and predictable, but if you're looking for mindless family fun, you can do a lot worse than "Mr. Nanny." But I enjoyed "Suburban Commando" a lot more. At least in that movie, the Hulkster had a talented actor like Christopher Lloyd to feed off.
MrWonderful This has to be one of the worst movies of all time, even worse than 'Suburban Commando.'Hogan may be the most popular wrestler ever, but he's also the worst. The only thing going for him is charisma. Don't get me wrong, this movie would suck with even the greatest of actors in it. Crappy plot, crappy jokes, crappy lead actor, et cetera, do you sense a pattern?All in all, if you have seen this movie, I feel sorry for you and if you haven't, save yourself a headache and suicidal feelings and keep it that way.
psycho_charlie666 Wow! I recently saw this movie on TV, and even though it's 10 years after release, the power of this film is undiminished. Hogan has never been known for making conservative films, but Mr.Nanny breaks all the rules. It shatters boundaries and takes the audience places I didn't know a movie could. It may be quite experimental, and thus not for everyone's tastes, but it features a tour-de-force performance by Hulk Hogan reminisent of his unforgettable RIP Thomas. Probably the most mind blowing thing for me was reading that a lot of the Hulkster's on screen time was adlibbed, and that some of the most poignant lines in the film weren't actually in the script. A true modern classic.
tfrizzell Hulk Hogan gives the big screen another shot in this terrible little film that was thrown together in a pinch for some quick revenue. The former wrestling super-star decides to take a job as a bodyguard to protect an important man's young children. It seems that the man is being threatened because of a top-secret microchip that some unknown person wants. The typical insanity takes place in this mess that avoids the turkey due to Hogan's screen charisma and nothing else. 2 stars out of 5.
