One of the most intriguing characters was Brynn Randall, the long-suffering wife whose crooked husband had been cheating on her. There was good dramatic tension, as well as solid performances from the entire cast. The final fifteen minutes of the film occurs in the Randall home where all of the main characters converge at the climactic moment where Gina confronts Randall. But it is unclear exactly what Gina will ultimately do to the scoundrel Randall. A string of outrageous fantasy scenes are dramatized in Gina's mind in which she takes Randall hostage and extracts a confession out of him. It is at this moment that Gina's impulsivity kicks in, leading her to devise a fantastical scenario to infiltrate Randall's home as the nanny to his young son Jackson. Randall then tries to cover up his malfeasance by doctoring the toxicology report on Gina's dad, indicating that he was drunk on the job. Gina's mom died in an auto crash on the way to the hospital to visit her dying husband. Gina lost both of her parents when her father died on a construction job due to "cheap and faulty" electrical parts purchased from China by the contractor Parker Randall. When it is revealed at the beginning that the singular trait of the protagonist Gina Jensen is that she is "impulsive," we know that we are in for a wild ride. There was a tongue-in-cheek approach to "A Nanny's Revenge" with some sly tricks deployed by the filmmakers. Reviewed by lavatch 8 / 10 Greek Tragedy? Or French Farce?
