From IMDb: “The film is about Marlo, a mother of three including a newborn, who is gifted a night nanny by her brother. Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully.”

Poster Rating: B / B-

Review: (#1) While it’s a clever concept, and one that is executed fairly well, the lighting on the stickers doesn’t quite fit the lighting of the face, making it feel a bit fake.

(#2) It takes the first poster and adds staid blocking elements that don’t add much depth or intrigue to the film.

Trailer Rating: B- / B

Review: (#1) The slowness of the trailer is one of its greatest problems, but as we get to the meat of the trailer mid-way through, it becomes a lot more interesting. The arrival of the Mary Poppins-like stranger adds something interesting, though perhaps too familiar, to the film’s premise that may not exactly drive engagement.

(#2) Jason Reitman might be back in form with his latest comedy, pairing up with Diablo Cody and Charlize Theron again in what might be a fascinating exploration of motherhood and the stress and frustration that can go along with it.
