Mr. Nanny - 1/2 star

Hulk Hogan (“Suburban Commando”) may be good in the ring but he’s not so good in movies. If there’s one movie that can confirm his inability to act and his inability to entertain in a big role, it’s “Mr. Nanny”.

“Mr. Nanny” follows retired pro-wrestler Sean Armstrong (Hogan) as he becomes a bodyguard for an inventor’s bratty kids (Madeline Zima, Robert Gorman). They are being stalked by an evil competitor, named Thanatos (David Johansson). While staying at the home, Sean is hit with bowling balls, electrocuted and almost killed by the nasty kids he’s protecting. The real trouble begins when both the kids and the inventor go missing so it’s up to Sean to rescue them from a group of terrorists.

Hulk Hogan is awful as Sean Armstrong. He’s not exciting to watch as an action star and he is not remotely funny as the retired pro-wrestler. The kids are uninteresting as they set up their “Home Alone” style traps. They’re unfunny and extremely disturbing as they try to kill their babysitters in an attempt to get attention from their father. It’s so hard to sympathise with these kids when they seem so unnecessarily cruel. The villains are unmemorable and boring.

“Mr. Nanny” is awful in every meaning of the word. If I were to compile a list of the worst movies I’d seen, “Mr. Nanny” would be a contender for the list. It’s unfunny and really ridiculous. It tries to make wrestling seem like a real sport, the idea of the kids doing what they do for attention is horrible and the concept of a wrestler in a ballerina outfit fighting against terrorists is not my cup of tea. Do not buy “Mr. Nanny”, do not watch “Mr. Nanny” and don’t even think about it if you want to save yourself from an unentertaining experience with no grasp of how to entertain an audience.
