January 10, 2009Colin Firth is Mr Brown who has been recently widowed. Nanny McPhee tries to tame his seven badly behaved children. He is poor and his aunt will withdraw financial support unless he remarries. The children scare off any prospects. A magical tale. A bit like Mary Poppins without t...( read more)

December 29, 2008Being a pretty wild and colorful modern version of the Mary Poppins topic of a nanny changing the life of her new household, this film combines a cast of top notch British actors. It is mostly their talent and the plenty of ideas for pranks of the Brown children that make this mo...( read more)

December 5, 2008The film started off as very annoying. I absolutely hated the children, there was nothing likable about them tomake them sympathetic. Luckily due to Emma Thompson's writing and some decent child performances the childrens plight became endearing and enjoyable. Unfortunately the p...( read more)

November 21, 2009Cute for kids. Difficult for adults who can't get past that awful, awful wart on Emma Thompson's nose. Sadly, because of Harry Potter, this is one of those fantasy/magic movies that get compared to the HP franchise and people are let down. The adaptation of the book was substanda...( read more)

October 31, 2009I love Emma Thompson Movies. She is so great. Oh wow, the old lady was Angela Lansbury, during the whole Movie I thought it was her, though she looked to skinney and had that huge Nose, but she can play a great Mean Old Woman. A must for Fantasy Movie Fans. Not close to Mary P...( read more)

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
In a seemingly blithe way, the movie captures an aspect of child consciousness not usually explored onscreen -- that zone between innocence and knowledge. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Naughty (and nice) children of all ages, particularly little girls, should gobble this one up, and rightly so. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
The kiddie komedy of Nanny McPhee shows that Mary Poppins plus Charles Dickens can add up to less than even Cheaper by the Dozen. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
A howling headache-inducer that features bratty urchins prone to torturing people and a color scheme resplendent with hot-pink bustiers and peeling lime paint. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
... an appealing tale of youthful empowerment and whimsy. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Will kids like the movie? I suspect they will. Kids like to see other kids learning the rules even if they don't much want to learn them themselves. full review
