A 40 something couple is about to have a third child. Marlo is played by Charlize Theron married to stereotypical Drew, Ron Livingston who does not have a clue as to what is going on or chooses not to see. They have a typical 8-year-old daughter and a quirky kindergarten age son. Marlo is overwhelmed by life even before the birth of her new daughter and accepts her rich brother’s offer, of a night nanny. It is a fantasy comes true, with a large dose of mental illness. It is only at the end, that one realizes the whole point of the movie. It is thought provoking about real issues.

Good film..especially for fans of Charluze Theron

Still a great interpretation from Charlize Theron ! Very realistic but the outcome of the story wasn't exploited deeply enough.

I thought Charlize Theron did a great job in character, however, I did not quite understand the plot of the story until the very end of the movie.
