Nanny McPhee
In this wickedly charming tale, Emma Thompson portrays a mysterious woman with special powers who enters the household of the recently widowed Mr. Brown (Colin Firth) and attempts to tame his seven very naughty children. The children have managed to drive away 17 previous nannies, but as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice that their misbehaving has magical and startling consequences. "A magical, fantastic and wonderful fable that will capture the heart of the whole family!" (Maria Salas, NBC-TV)

While the plot is pretty easy to see Nanny McPhee is still a heart warming funny story.
Emma Thompson is excellent at pulling off Nanny McPhee and barley recognizable under the make up.
It is a great alternative to Mary Poppins while still a classic is a bit slow compared to the modern Nanny McPheeNanny McPhee - movielover10
I wasn't sure what to expect when I received this movie. It was recommended by a friend. Since I am a fan of Colin Firth and Emma Thompson, I decided to watch. This is not exactly Mary Poppins from my childhood. While Nanny McPhee obviously loves the children, her approach to the children is original at best. The special effects were spectacular. The transformation of Emma Thompson is tied to the lessons that the children learn. You know that the end is near when Nanny McPhee's appearance returns to normal. I always like a movie with a happy ending. I look forward to watching Nanny McPhee returns.Perfect family movie - MadDude
There's just the right amount of magic in this movie to appeal to children without turning off adults. It's very kid-friendly, which is obvious when you look at the over-the-top sets and costume choices. There are several children, but only one lead so it doesn't get confusing.
For an adult, the plot might seem transparent after a while, but to kids it's not and constantly pulls on their heartstrings.
