Director : Susanna White
Running Time : 105 mins
Nanny McPhee (Thompson) travels to the country to help out Isabel Green (Gyllenhaal), whose husband Rory (McGregor) has been sent off to war. She has been left to look after not only their farm and their children, but also the children’s two spoiled cousins who have been sent from London to live with them.
Fans of the original movie may not immediately warm to this sequel – the kids are purposely not as likeable or roguish as in the first, they are just basically annoying, while Nanny McPhee herself doesn’t seem to be important enough to the plot as she is in the original, and the five lessons she’s supposed to teach the children went practically over my head. Eventually things get going, and the childish humour quickly takes the fore, but this really could have done with more focus on the humour and less on the maudlin story about their missing father.
