I just finished the second My Terrible Nanny and, not gonna lie, it feels just as cozy as the first. The family‑centric story stays warm, the countryside bursts with bright colors, and the nanny’s gentle humor still shines. There are a few slow spots, but it’s a solid pick for a relaxed movie night with the kids.
