Nanny McPhee Returns


These are such cool concepts for a film. Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson) is needed by another family with rowdy children who have to be taught some lessons.

These films are great for kids. They teach good lessons on how to behave and get along. The acting is great, and the story is heartwarming. You learn about the REASONS why people are so cruel, not just THAT they are cruel. It shows the depth of each character--even the children. However, it was a bit slow at the beginning, but picked up pace about 15 minutes in and never backed down.

Often are kids movies easily misunderstood, but this one is very difficult to misunderstand. It will appeal to all ages and creeds.

Overall Grade: A
