Nanny McPhee (2005)
Based on the Nurse Matilda series of books by Christianna Brand, this dark and witty fable stars Emma Thompson as a person of unsettling appearance and magical powers who enters the household of the recently widowed Mr. Brown (Colin Firth) and attempts to tame his seven exceedingly ill-behaved children. The children have managed to drive away 17 previous nannies but as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice that their vile behaviour now leads swiftly and magically to rather startling consequences.

A very cute film. I imagine kids would adore it, and for me I enjoyed the Cinderella-type qualities of the piece. Plus- magic when used for good is always worth a star. Hence, 4 stars.

Great movie
Lisa

Excellent all round. Kids loved it. Parents loved it. Emma Thompson is brilliant. Moral lessons are also great.
Janice

I order this movie to watch with my niece and nephew and totally enjoyed it.

Good movie without too much razzamatazz to fill in the gaps (don't:see Mr Magoriums Blah Blah...). Adult friendly and worth a watch just for Emma Thompson, unlike the second spinoff.

Great kids movie or will appeal to adults with an active (inner) child. Loved it. Full of magic and beautiful scenery.
Keith Weymouth
says
A delightful fresh children's story, which is good for adults to see and learn!

A more engaging if not slightly twisted version of the Mary Poppins style of character.. We loved it! Well done Emma Thompson! Brilliant!!
Jumbuck
says
Glorious! A far better version of the genre than Mary Poppins - wonderfully British with everyone hamming it up to the hilt.

Very colourful, funny, well-acted by all...totally enjoyable for all the family. The kids are fantastic (I love little Thomas Sangster's portrayal), as is Mrs Quickly. Very fairytale in style....sweet.

More magic that Mary Poppins with a moral that teaches all ages a thing or two. Really enjoyed watching this movie.

The person you need is Nanny McPhee! Do not listen to nay-sayers, a very good film. Its an updated nanny movie. Reminded me of Bedknobs and Broomsticks (seminal in my development!) justr the kids were far more modern (ie: a lot worse!).

Alyce

i loved this movie wached it over and over not to many movies are made like that anymore could have had some more humor in it. more romance would also have been welcomed
Mark J.
says
It's a terrific fairytale, filled with classic morals (as in all good fairytales!). I enjoyed it, it's good fun. If you enjoy light and entertaining 'fairytale' stories then I'd recommend this one.

This is an awesome movie. Great to see Angela Landsbury playing an interesting role. This was very funny and a big thumbs up. Great acting from the "naughty" children. Emma Thompson was great as Nanny Mcphee. Her transformation throughout the movie totally amazed the kids.

This movie was an absolute treat!! A 21st century Mary Poppins!! Emma Thompson played a brilliant role and even the wishy washy Colin Firth came to the party. Imelda Staunton always shines and the kids were great. The story, with its lessons to be learnt, made it an all rounder. Highly recommended.

Great. Make sure you watch this movie carefully as you don't want to miss a trick. Stunning actors and thought gone into this movie. Lets hope the kids listen to her and pass it on.

An enjoyable family movie-well we watched it without the kids! Emma Thompson calm and assured in her screenplay and role of Nanny McPhee. Good casting, though the lead boy I found didn't quite fit with the others, maybe that was the point. Colin Firth in his usual typecast bumbling character - which Working Title films specialise in. The tweedle dee, tweedle dum pair were fun, and the fantasy make-up and designs all fun. So when you can't play outside, stick this DVD on, and also the extras on making the film and the history of the story are good infotainment.

This is quite an entertaining and humourous movie. Nanny McPhee is like a version of Mary Poppins but without the sugar to help the medicine go down. A great family movie.
