I'm not sure where to start- the amateurish acting, the questionable plot, or the stupid outfits Miss Kimberly wore. Gabe was in full emote mode every time you saw him...overacting at its worst! Britt was equally emotive as was Kimberly at at a number of spots. The only two characters of mild professionalism was the Seinfeld look-alike detective and Laurie Fortier. Ms. Fortier, however, also went into emote mode while brandishing the pistol near the end of the movie.
And the plot was bizarre and really unexplained- rather unexplainable.
A total recasting and some rewrites are the only things that could save this mess.

Another candidate for the worst LMN movie ever
Laurie Fortier STILL can't act
*What Lies Behind Closed Doors / What the Nanny Saw*
Unfortunately, Lifetime movies are still quantity over quality - a dime a dozen - and they continue to use sub-par "actors" such as most of the leads in this turkey.
And it's ridiculous that they use Laurie Fortier over and over again when she still couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, especially in her ending diatribes when she's revealed as the psycho/villain/murderer, etc. Yawn. I knew she was the villain ten minutes into the movie, especially during the multiple scenes of her so-called "five city" business trip, with each scene showing the name of the city she was supposedly in.
So many plot holes, as usual in Lifetime World. The lead actress seemed more like a 16 year old than college-age, and relied more on exaggerated facial expressions than actual acting while at the same time her boyfriend over-acted horribly...and laughably.
The husband was so wooden he could've been played by a cardboard cut-out and saved LMN the salary they paid him. Talk about phoning it in. And like a handful of other Lifetime actors (Matt Pohlkamp being number one), he's suddenly being overused in too many of their films.
It's so rare that Lifetime actually shows a very good/great movie with an interesting, original storyline and good acting - sadly, this was another of the many examples of the exact opposite.
Grade F / 1 out of 10.
Meh, ok!
This was a retread of so many past Lifetime movie with a nanny character. This time, though, the nanny was a good person. But I really didn't care what happened in the movie and the plot had a lot of holes in it! An overall disappointment. Skip it!
