Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (34% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.4 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

A college graduate goes to work as a nanny for a rich New York family. Ensconced in their home, she has to juggle their dysfunction, a new romance, and the spoiled brat in her charge.
