It's Robin Williams almost at his best. He was in fact on all sorts of drugs at this point of his career... but we need not mention that really.
Anyway, the film is a childhood gem that many of us 80s babies remember while growing up, it also helped our generation with accepting the cultural phenomenon of cross dressing. Rocky Horror did this for the previous generation and so on. The humour is simple but classic and light, often many little jokes are missed and only detectable on repeated viewing. Williams does a fantastic job of bringing us in to the character and really feeling empathy to the situation at hand, you really do start to fall in love with the buxom nanny image.
It will always remain for me a childhood classic as each time I watch I think of my times as a kid and just laughing the whole way through - it's another one of those 'must see at Christmas movies'.
My Favourite Bit - When Robin Williams sits down in the employment office and exclaims "I do voices" and then precedes to conduct a full repertoire of each one. Hilarious.
