Au Pair (1999 TV Movie)
2/10
Clichéd, formulaic, unworthy film
19 December 2018
Groan. Every cliché on the book. Big breasted heroine, plain Jane (you can tell that because she wears .. spectacles), square jawed unfounded hero with endless pocketfuls of cash, villainous sharp featured mildly bad woman, miraculous situations (heroine gets a super-job having no apparent qualifications, oh she's magicked away to exotic locations and top class hotels based on, um, fresh air?), bad kids become good kids because the plot needs it. And plagiarisation - the inevitable wiggling woman laughingly trying on lots of thousand dollar outfits half way through the film whilst the sound track plays .. yup "Pretty Woman" (I wonder where they got that idea from?). Best of all, the heroine eventually abandons her spectacles and .. wow! she's beautiful. And so on and so forth. A disgraceful attempt to make money using other people's achievements.
