Nanny McPhee Returns Review & Giveaway

August 19, 2010 by Momstart 142 Comments

Nanny McPhee Returns is out in theaters starting today, August 20th. I had the opportunity to see an early screening of the movie.

nannymcpheereturns Nanny McPhee, that’s little c big P brought laughter and tears to my eyes. It is a heartwarming family film reminding moms that it’s ok to need help, while also teaching kids great manners. Nanny McPhee Returns is filled with actors that I know and love. Maggie Gyllenhaal (Batman: The Dark Night) plays the mom, Isabel Green that has been left behind to take care of everything while her husband is off fighting the war. Her husband is played by Ewan McGregor and even though his part in the movie is very small, I’m still glad he made an appearance in the movie! Isabel is taking care of three children that have gotten quite out of hand. In addition to taking care of her three children, two of their cousins are about to come live with her as well. Plus, she is taking care of Mrs. Docherty (Maggie Smith from Harry Potter), the store keeper that is getting on in her years and needs to be supervised so she doesn’t put syrup in drawers. Yikes, this mother has her hands full.

That is when Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson) comes into her life. Parts of the movie are over the top, but I think it’s all for the kids. Watching the movie in a room full of children reminded me that that’s what they enjoy. Things that are over the top, like dancing pigs, fireworks and talking birds.

When Nanny McPhee arrives she decides that all of these children need to learn five lessons. She uses her magic to teach them how to share, be kind, have faith and helps them save their farm from their uncle who gambled it away. I’m such a sucker for a family film, I was crying at the beginning and at the end. Nanny McPhee always leaves when you no longer need her but you want her and I wanted her to stay as well. Good Byes are so hard!

Nanny McPhee Returns Movie Giveaway

August 6, 2010 by Momstart 125 Comments

I found Nanny McPhee to be a very cute movie. She’s like the Super Nanny but really ugly. I know, she becomes quite lovely as the children start to behave. She’s quite good at her job and has a way of coming and going just like Marry Poppins. Nanny McPhee Returns will be in theaters August 20th.

Synopsis:

clip_image001In Nanny McPhee Returns, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world.

In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave.

Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.
