I never thought I could sit through a film like this and actually enjoy it. Although it is considered a childrens film, Nanny McPhee will definately appeal to all audiences both children and adults alike. The story was very original and the production was very well done. The climax however is somewhat predictable, but I did take into account that it was geared for children to understand. What was great about this film was that it taught morals and responsibility. Something that is not taught in many films today. You might say that this film was a diamond in the rough. Out of all those strange children’s movies that have come out over the years, this definately shines about the rest. (With the exception of Harry Potter! :)) Definately a film for all ages. I highly recommend it.

Based on the “Nurse Matilda” books by Christianna Brand comes the story of Nanny McPhee. Cedric Brown is now a widow with seven ill-behaved children who’ve already chased away 17 nannies. But when a mysterious voice tells Cedric to hire Nanny McPhee, she arrives at the Brown home and the kids learn to behave properly. But when Great-Aunt Adelaide tells Cedric he must be married by the end of the month or she’ll separate the children, he tries to find women, but the children run them away. And Nanny McPhee tells Simon, the eldest, that he will face the consequences, so the kids go to Selma Quickly and admit what they did and ask to give their father a second chance and they will be married. Will the kids really find the perfect woman for their father?
