Nanny McPhee
Year: | 2006 |
Director: | Kirk Jones |
Writer: | Emma Thompson |
Cast: | Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Kelly Macdonald, Angela Lansbury, Celia Imre, Imelda Staunton |
He has a doddery old benefactor Aunt to deal with (Lansbury) and a budding romance with lovely housekeeper (Macdonald from the exhaustive cast of Gosford Park).
So when the mysterious Nanny McPhee shows up looking like a witch and uses her apparently magic powers to teach the children the requisite kids-movie lessons, they of course turn around and come to love her. A few funny lines but very predictable, based on a series of kids' books, and interestingly enough written by leading lady Emma Thompson.
