Naughty children beware! Just when you need her the most but want her the least, Nanny McPhee returns to work her magic in the sequel to the 2005 hit film. In Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang Emma Thompson is transformed once more into the mysterious nanny. This time, she finds herself at the door of a family farm where mayhem has broken out between some boisterous country children and their spoiled city cousins. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes alive to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant that turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee conjures up just the right formula to teach her charges five new lessons.

Surprisingly, not knowing the previous film with Nanny McPhee is not a particular retardant or redundancy in the audience's cooperation in forming active hypotheses about the true nature. And Maggie Gyllenhaal! And the pseudo-war stylization!

It's a terrible shame that it basically repeats what was presented in the first film. The story is actually the same; it's just a slightly different family, but that doesn't make it a second part of the film, just a copy. It's all the more sad because there are some interesting actors here. Unfortunately, even in this case, the fact remains that a repeated joke isn't really a joke.
