Nanny McPhee (2005) 8/10

Starring : Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Kelly Macdonald, Angela Lansbury, Celia Imrie, Imelda Staunton
Director : Kirk Jones
Running Time : 95 mins

Cedric Brown (Firth) has seven badly behaved children and no wife to help him take care of them. His only option seems to be to get married or else his Aunt Adelaide (Lansbury) will cut off his fortune and he’ll be left destitute. A further complication is he can’t keep a nanny employed to look after the children – that is until Nanny McPhee (Thompson) shows up and uses her magical powers to whip the kids into shape.

This is actually a very enjoyable children’s movie which thankfully doesn’t make the mistake of talking down to it’s audience. The story line is solid and engaging, nad actually has a few surprise moments thrown in to keep the viewer off track. Definitely worth watching for anyone who loves kids movies.
