Nanny McPhee Returns

3 out of 5 Stars



I must admit, I remember very much enjoying the first movie, though now I don't remember much about it. And I definitely enjoyed the second film. The Nanny McPhee movies aren't necessarily top notch but they are some truly great children's fantasy with very important lessons. The fact is that these truly are cautionary tales for naughty children at the same time as being a story about learning your lessons. Such lessons include learning how to share and not fighting. And of course there is the fun of the Nanny McPhee character as well. "When you need me and do not want me I must stay. When you want me but do not need me I must go." It's really quite entertaining really, especially if you like fantasy. And it's the kind of story that kids will enjoy. Though it does tackle some somewhat heavy thematic material in the middle for young kids. And it really could have done without the pigs doing synchronized swimming. But all in all it was a fun film to watch.
