Rating:  - Mary Poppins gone horribly wrong!
I LOVE this movie! I can't believe I've gone my whole adult life and never heard of the series of books from which it was born. I know it was intended as a kid's movie, but I found it to be entertaining and delightful myself. (Of course, that may speak more to my child-like imagination than to the movie itself.) However, if you enjoyed the Harry Potter series as an adult, this movie is for you as well. Go for it - let your inner brat out for a bit and splurge!
Rating: - Delightful family movie!
Nanny McPhee is a top notch family film. My husband and I enjoyed watching it and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my son and his family. Cedric Brown's children are full of mischief. They continually come up with ever more devious ways to rid themselves of their nannies and to get their father's attention. Though they achieve the former, the latter seems to be beyond their capabilities. That is until the arrival of the magical Nanny McPhee. The 7 Brown children are determined they will not succumb to Nanny McPhee and will send her packing just as the did the other 17 nannies. They didn't forsee the power of her love and the pounding of her magic cane. But even Nannie McPhee cannot stop their father from marrying the dreadful Mrs. Quickly!! What will happen? Can the children save the day?
Rating: - Great movie! Awesome price!!
I was able to preview this movie and decided I wanted to purchase the DVD. I found the movie for next to nothing here on Amazon, and bought it used (I paid under $9.00, shipping and all). I have had no problems with the DVD, it works great. It is a wonderful movie and it was probably one of the cheapest movies I have ever purchased. My 8 yr. old daughter expecially likes this movie.
Rating: - DVD movie
This is a good movie & kept the granddaughters busy & gave us peace for a while.
Rating:  - Some magic, some dullness
Colin Firth was superb. Emma Thompson was superb. Nanny McPhee's character was awesome, the children were awesome. Nanny's physical transformation was wonderful and the musical score was magical. But what wasn't magical was Evangaline. What a dud. She just fell flat as a pancake. Nanny, beautified, had all the chemistry with "Dear Dad" Colin Firth and the ending just flopped with him hooking up with that boring old scullery maid with no personality and not much prior part to play in the story. Hence the 3 stars. Loved Emma Thompson, loved Colin Firth, loved the kids, didn't love the ending nor Evangaline.
