He neededia nanny…and he got so much more.
Richard E. Grant (Ready to Wear), Samantha Mathis (Broken Arrow), Dame Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) and Ian McKellen (Richard III) "are all top-notch" (Boxoffice) in this "fresh and genuine" (Entertainment Today) story about a family and love - it's a celebration of emotions that'll have you laughing and crying all at once!
In a split second Jack's (Grant) seemingly perfect world comes crashing down around him when his wife dies in childbirth. Suddenly faced with his tragic loss, and the demands of single parenthood to his baby girl, Sarah, Jack spontaneously hires a beautiful young American waitress named Amy (Mathis) as a nanny. But Amy, who is unqualified, inexperienced and unsuitable for the job, only complicates matters further when Jack finds himself falling for her! With his overprotective mother (Dench), drunkard housekeeper (McKellen) and romantically interested boss (Cherie Lunghi) all attempting to intervene, can this tidy British widower and his decidedly undomestic domestic find love against all the odds?

Not a comedy, but a good drama - 3.25 out of 5 (1/9/2002)
I'm not quite sure who classified JACK & SARAH as a comedy, because in the
laughs department, it leaves a little to be desired.
I suppose it was somebody's idea of comparing the film to THREE MEN AND A
BABY, by capitalizing on the fact the film features a single father and a
foreign nanny who slowly fall in love, but that person missed some big
differences.
First of all Jack is not a single parent by choice. His wife Sarah dies in
childbirth and the first half-hour of the film is a
