Synopsis:
With warts, crooked teeth and other unsightly features, Nanny McPhee has come to help the Brown Family fix their problems. At first the problem seems obvious. Mrs. Brown has recently passed and the seven children have managed to run off the previous seventeen nannies. Mysteriously, Nanny McPhee arrives and immediately starts teaching the children her five lessons. As the movie goes on, audiences discover why the children misbehave so badly and how they only want their father's love and attention.
After a battle of the wills and some of Nanny McPhee's magical persuasions, the children begin to learn her lessons and her hard features begin to soften, revealing a less witch-like nanny. In the end, Nanny McPhee becomes pretty when the children learn the last of their five lessons. The lessons have not only transformed the children's behavior, but the entire Brown Family as well.
This movie is definetly a movie everyone in your family will enjoy, but not really a movie that will entertain over and over again. It lacks that extra "it factor" that makes a movie fun to watch. There is a dancing donkey and a talking baby, but even still, nothing as special as jumping into chalk pictures, dancing ont the roof tops or flying to the ceiling. It does not make children wish they could be there and because of that, will not be a movie that will be talked about for years to come.
