Katie and her daughter are looking for a fresh start in a new town. Katie quickly makes friends with a couple who have a daughter and the two young girls quickly become friends as well. But when Katie agrees to help the couple grow their family, things get strange fast.
Gina Gershon (Angela), Nicky Whelan (Katie), Nicolas Cage (Brian), Sienna Baker (Maddie), Harlow Bottarini (Cora), Natalie Marie (Linda), Faye Dunaway (Donna), Jonathan Baker (Barry), James Van Patten (Dr. Weisman)
A lovely couple with a young daughter are hoping to grow their family with more children. They meet Katie and her daughter and everyone becomes great friends. The couple ask Katie to be their nanny, and she needs the work, so all is well. This is the point where this simple story we all know fairly well goes sideways. But, rather than simply a crazy nanny trying to break up a couple, Inconceivable throws in a few curves that keeps things interesting right through the surprise ending.
Acting was solid from everyone in this one. Gershon delivered as usual and it was nice to see her working with Cage again. Whelan was solid and enjoyable throughout. Cage was okay, but he also wasn't the lead in the film which helped. Marie, Baker, Dunaway and the remainder of the supporting cast did well.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are fitting and well done. The house used in the film is beautiful and expressed well in technical work. Action scenes were mild but fitting for the story. Dialogue was good with nice depth and fit. Sound and soundtrack are mild but fitting.
Overall Inconceivable does a nice job of taking the familiar crazy nanny story and adding a few more levels of depth. Those who enjoy a solid crime thriller or crime drama should enjoy this one quite a bit.
With some nudity, mild sexuality, violence, gore, and some foul language, this should be fine for older teens and above.
