Having not seen the previous Nanny McPhee movie, what I got was a pleasant surprise watching this funny and touching sequel starring and written by Emma Thompson. As the title character, I wasn't completely sure of what to think of her but she, like everyone else in the cast, eventually grew on me as the movie went on. And she's accompanied in the film by many compelling actors like Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, and Maggie Gyllenhaal who sounds fine sporting an English accent. There's also an appearance by Ewan McGregor in a role I don't want to reveal. Also fine were the children playing Ms. Gyllenhaal's offspring and the cousins who convincingly transition from spoiled rotten to more socially appealing during the picture. And the special effects involving the animals also rate highly with me. So on that note, Nanny McPhee Returns comes much recommended from me.

Not having seen Nanny McPhee 1, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised.The film was very easy to get into and the story and plot were well written and set.The actors young and old performed brilliantly making the whole thing enchanting and a highly believable fantasy.The special effects were very well done and the comedy in it was delightful. I took my children with me, aged 5, 12, 15 and 18 and they all loved it too, with lots of laugh out loud moments and lots of smiles throughout.All in all a very good film and I recommend it highly.If you're going to see it I suggest you take all the family. Its a definite must see for all ages and you'll not be disappointed.

This film is about a group of spoiled children being tamed by Nanny McPhee's magical ways."Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang" has a simple plot that is accessible to both children and adults. The abundance of children and their misbehavior in the film should entertain and resonate with children. Nanny McPhee's mysterious ways of handling children is only limited by imagination, and also provide morality education in an engaging and fun manner. I find the ending rather touching, even though such an ending is expected as "Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang" is a children's film. It's a lovely fantasy tale for younger children.
