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)

"Mental" is the title of a movie that evokes something. "Mental" means the same thing in English as "mentál" in Czech. In fact, it is possible to translate this title that way. At this point, we get to the heart of the matter because this is truly a movie about lunatics. And by that, I mean it in the most natural sense of the word. The focus of the story is on people who need the help of a psychologist, or even better, a psychiatrist. Yes, there is a difference between them. Several people independently told me this, so I guess I will believe them. One helps and the other has the right to give you electric shocks without having any problems with the law or a guilty conscience. Read more: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/mental-2012-45.html
