I think that this was a really adorable movie. Perfect for one of those rainy, there's nothing to do days. I think that Fran Drescher was really lovable in this movie and Timothy Dalton, for once, seemed to take on a somewhat light-hearted role.

Fran Drescher, as nasal as ever, is mistaken for a science teacher and is whisked off to an East European country to instruct the 4 children of widower dictator Timothy Dalton.

This is definitely a ripoff of the television series The Nanny. Even Phyllis Newman, who briefly appears as her mother, tries to imitate the great Renee Taylor's Sylvia in the television show. I expected Grandma Yetta to come out but that does not occur.

The story is basically where our beautician (Fran) softens the heart of the ruthless dictator. He learns about life from Drescher and the two are finding love until a political situation threatens to end all that.

The film is routine in nature.

To paraphrase the song from the television show:

She was a beautician in the borough of Queens.

Until a fire broke out in one of those crushing scenes.

What was she to do, where was she to go, she was not working?

So to Eastern Europe she flew when she was thought to be a teacher. The dictator, the beast, was quite a creature.

She had style, she had class, that's why she became his lover.

One of the funniest movies. Laughs keep on rolling. Fran Drescher and Timothy Dalton play opposites so well.
