Plots(1)
Based on the 'Nurse Matilda' series of books by Christianna Brand, this dark and witty fable stars Emma Thompson as a person of unsettling appearance and magical powers who enters the household of the recently widowed Mr. Brown (Colin Firth) and attempts to tame his seven exceedingly ill-behaved children. The children have managed to drive away 17 previous nannies but as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice that their vile behaviour now leads swiftly and magically to rather startling consequences.

Another one of those movies that I've been avoiding, but Christmas turned out to be a suitable time to watch it. Emma Thompson is simply great, not just as an actress, but also as a screenwriter. On top of that, there are other excellent actors with whom you will enjoy this fairy tale film. Entertaining and colorfully beautiful, bordering on kitsch.

The kids, Colin Firth, and the late-Victorian stylings are oddly more annoying than similar attributes updated in Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, yet both Nanny McPhee films are solid family entertainment.
