Mr. Nanny

Sean Armstrong is a bigger than life former pro wrestler who still loves a good challenge, but he wants a normal day now and then. He takes a job that promises simple security and kid watching, only to discover it involves two highly energetic children and a protective role that hardly feels normal at all. The kids live with their inventive father whose gadgets sometimes attract the wrong kind of attention, and threats to the household start showing up in odd places. Sean must juggle safety with patience, learning to speak the kids language while still enforcing rules. Laughter comes with pratfalls, miscommunications, and a growing sense that this odd match might actually work. The caper then heightens with accidental gadget fixes and goofy chases that push them toward real teamwork.

Released in 1993, the film was directed by Michael Gottlieb and based on Edward Rugoff's original concept. It pairs Hulk Hogan's physical comedy with a light hearted family premise, produced on a modest budget and aimed at broad audience appeal.

Reception leaned toward mixed. Some viewers enjoyed Hogan's buoyant energy and the simple family humor, while critics found the plot light and familiar. The film touches on responsibility, protection, and the balance between showmanship and genuine care for kids, a tone reflected in a middling audience score around five out of ten.

Worldwide gross was about 4.35 million on a 10 million budget, a modest return for a 1990s family comedy release that found stringently mixed reviews.

It sits among Hogan's attempts to cross into mainstream cinema aimed at families, alongside other light hearted projects. While not a cultural milestone, it offers a snapshot of how sports stars were marketed to kid audiences and their parents at that time.
