Whoopi Goldberg at her whoopiest. So cool, so hip, she's such a hipster. This semi-autobiographical beauty of a movie is set in the somewhat shallow fifties, a time when a person could dismiss someone at a glance. A very recent widower and his little daughter are suffering. They need real help dealing with the loss of the wife and mommy. That help arrives in the whirlwind that is Whoopi playing The Nanny. Her interaction with the two injured sweeties that are the papa and the daughter is priceless and necessary for their recovery. Everybody's happy. Or they would be except the nanny is black. The two she is working with are not. They are white, jewish in fact, which means quite white. It's a sweet strong story that I love.
