With hairy warts, a stern-looking unibrow and one extremely protruding buck-tooth, Nanny McPhee is a wonderfully comedic substitute for Mary Poppins in this entertaining family fantasy. By loosely adapting Christianna Brand's Nurse Matilda children's books of the 1960s, Oscar®-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) has also given herself the plum role of Nanny McPhee, who can tame even the most unruly children with a tap of her magic walking stick. Her latest challenge is the bratty brood of a recent widower Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), who's under pressure to find a new wife or lose his much-needed allowance from wealthy Aunt Adelaide (a tailor-made role for Angela Lansbury). His love for scullery maid Evangeline (Kelly Macdonald) remains unspoken as he wincingly woos the eagerly merry widow Mrs. Quickly (Celia Imrie), but Brown's raucous rugrats have a plan to make things right, especially after they've come under the benevolent influence of Nanny McPhee, whose peculiar brand of discipline works wonders for everyone involved. Both quintessentially British and universally appealing, this wildly colorful comedy (thanks to a bold palette of costume and production design) was capably directed by Kirk Jones, whose appreciation for comic actors was equally apparent in his critically acclaimed 1998 comedy Waking Ned Devine. With just a hint of darkness to offset the whimsy, Nanny McPhee offers a splendid match of director, cast and material, guaranteed to please Wallace & Gromit fans and anyone else with a taste for British zaniness. --Jeff Shannon

 Cute Family Movie March 3, 2010
Elizabeth A. Rigor (Seoul, South Korea)
I would recommend this movie to anyone who has children. It is a cute movie about a family brought together through the help of a nanny. It has an all star cast including Dame Angela Lansbury who takes a pie in the face for her role. I cannot wait to see the sequel when it comes out.

This is a DVD to enjoy with family! I would watch it many times and not be bored. There are reasons to enjoy this over and over as one does not see all the meaningful details on the first viewing. I can't understand why it wasn't "bigger at the box office." It is simply charming!
Wonderful for all ages January 21, 2010

I purchase this movie for two of my grand-daughters, hoping they'll learn what consequences an individual receives for actions of not so nice behavior). A great watch for the whole family,very enjoable.
