Nanny McPhee Returns
Make way for more fun and hilarious mayhem as Academy Award winner Emma Thompson reprises her role as the magical Nanny McPhee, who arrives when she’s needed the most and wanted the least. When Nanny McPhee appears at the farmhouse door of a busy young mother, Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), she discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are in an all-out household war with their two spoiled city cousins. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life, to a tree-climbing piglet and an elephant that turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to show the children five valuable lessons, the most important of which is learning how to get along. Critics are calling this heartwarming family adventure "another classic, just like the original." (Mark Allen, CBS-TV)

Odd but fun - JohnKageorge
The charm of Nanny McPhee is that she isn't what she appears. While this movie is exactly what it appears (super nanny transforms bad kids into good ones), it is a bit quirky. That is what makes it interesting. My kids couldn't stop laughing at its oddness as well as the slapstick humour.OK - justmemyselfandI
This Nanny McPhee was entertaining, but it lacked the atmosphere of the first one. The magic in the first Nanny McPhee was more subtle and understated. You knew it was there but it was so quiet, that it gave a mystical atmosphere that I really liked. This one, it was in-your-face, not trying to be subtle at all. It was kinda cheesy actually. I love Emma Thompson but I must say this was not her best work as a writer.Great Fun - 0930tracey
For those of us who didn't take Nanny Mcphee Returns too seriously... It was great fun.
Plenty of laughs, a touching storyline and a fantastic Emma Thompson made this movie a wonderful magical tale.
My kids loved it as did I. I recommend this film!
