\"That's Mean! That's Life!\" – An Elderly Woman with Mental Illness, a Mom on the Edge, and Dealing with Entitled Kids – My Take.

Hey everyone!

My terrible nanny 2. I decided to give this sequel a shot because I loved the first one and was curious what the next chapter would bring. I have to say I liked it – I’m kind of attached to the nanny, and it’s always a treat when she swoops in, fixes every mess and keeps the kids in line.

My take:

When I watched the first movie, a bunch of questions kept popping up. Not about the script or the acting – just pure curiosity about the world the film hinted at. The sequel actually gave me a few answers. Take the dad with seven kids, for instance. Some characters kept mentioning how much he missed their mom. I kept wondering what that mother looked like, the woman who gave birth to seven kids.

So here’s how she turned out. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of the actress – not because she lacks talent, but her looks just aren’t my cup of tea. Still, she’s a solid performer. A tiny tweak to her styling and she’d be a lot more pleasant to watch.

In the first film, Mr. Brown practically worshipped his late wife. He’d sit in the chair she loved and talk to her like she was still there – \"Honey, you could handle these kids, I can’t. What should I do?\" That made me wonder what the mother would actually be like and how she’d manage a brood of seven.

Turns out she can’t even handle three kids, let alone seven. The kids are constantly fighting, pulling pranks, and she’s just overwhelmed. So I’m left agreeing with Aunt Adelaide Stich’s line about her niece – why on earth did she keep having kids, ending up with seven? Seriously, why have seven when you can’t manage them?

I ran into Aunt Adelaide there too, but this time she seemed to be battling something that messed with her head – like dementia. She kept forgetting things, couldn’t recall where she put stuff, sometimes even lost track of where she was. Dementia’s untreatable, so maybe it’s something else going on up there. Still, dealing with someone who constantly forgets or mixes things up is exhausting. I have no clue how to handle that. Kids are easier.

Take a look at this kid… remember his face. When he grows up, he’ll probably end up as some overweight bureaucrat. He’s got a bureaucrat’s attitude baked in from the diaper stage – always rude, picking fights, looking down on everyone. Where do kids like that even come from? It’s the parents or the adults who act just like this little rat.

Honestly, the nanny is a total gem. Every kind thing she does with the kids just makes her shine more. She’s super sweet and well‑mannered. We need more nannies like her. I swear most kids would thrive under someone like this. She really knows how to teach good manners.

The pacing is steady – not too rushed, not dragging. The humor lands in everyday moments, and the soundtrack adds a cozy vibe. I liked that the film let the characters do the work instead of relying on flashy tricks.

I’d totally recommend watching this film. It’s a genuine fairy tale with a warm, magical ending. Stories like this are a pleasure to watch.
