Mr. Nanny is of little interest to any audience other than pre-teens.

[Hogan] doesn't take himself too seriously either, which could prove his downfall - that and excruciating movies like this.

No one goes to see a Hulk Hogan movie for cutting-edge moviemaking, and Mr. Nanny will be no exception.

It's too back that wrestling icon Hulk Hogan didn't know how to apply a choke hold to this lethargic and lightweight romp. An unintentional and embarrassing misstep

When the lasting image of Mr. Nanny is Hulk Hogan in a tutu, it’s not a pleasant thought.

A silly kiddie flick that retreads territory better covered by Mr. Mom, Home Alone and any number of clones.

One of the most monstrously agonizing motion pictures to come along this year. By comparison, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is actually watchable.

In its cynical blending of children, superstar, guns and comedy, Kindergarten Cop was execrable, but it was slick. Mr. Nanny isn't slick, it's sticky.

The plot in Mr. Nanny is flimsy, mostly tenuous excuses for making Hogan kiss a doll or sing a lullaby or dress in purple leotards and pink tutu while whomping on the bad guys.
