CGiii Comment

Somewhat implausible...

A dentist and a doctor basically go bankrupt - for $20,000 - that's not exactly a fortune, considering their respective salaries...they decide they can no longer keep the Nanny - who just happens to be a lesbian and an illegal immigrant.

All hell is let loose - well, actually no - it becomes a frothy, verbose non-starter...for the main reason - it's just not believable.

The(ir) Blurb...

Behind the facade of a beautiful urban home, a combination of complacency and bad investments has left power couple Ben and Gail disconnected, resentful and just about broke. When the cash-strapped yuppies fire their teen-aged daughter's lesbian Mexican nanny, Margarita, they set off a chain of events that lead to her deportation.
