Plots(1)
P.J. Hogan writes and directs this raucous Australian comedy. Toni Collette stars as Shaz, a hippy hitchhiker who is randomly recruited as a live-in nanny by philandering politician and father of five wayward girls Barry (Anthony LaPaglia) after his wife is committed to a psychiatric hospital. But it soon transpires that Shaz, far from being a stabilising influence on this most dysfunctional of families, has brought along plenty of issues of her own. (Universal Pictures UK)
