Nanny McPhee [Blu-ray]

Oh the magic of Nanny McPhee. I have 5 lessons to teach. When you need me I will be here, but when you want me and no longer need me, I must go. She saves a widower and his family from chaos and an arrangedish marriage. I won't give anything else away because you must see for yourself.

Great movie.

Love this movie! It was a staple piece in my childhood.

I loved this movie because of the overall appeal it has to people of all ages. It is sweet and funny and delightful as well as intriguing.

where to start

Loved this movie, and would reccommend it for family veiwing. It has everything that makes it charming for children, with just enough "spice" and literary depth so that adults can enjoy it, too.It is kind of quirky and sometimes a little scary feeling, but not intensely so. I have 7 and 5 year old granddaughters who enjoyed it without having trouble sleeping afterwards. It has humor, spookiness, sadness, romance, symbolism, and fantasy all rolled into one. The ending will positively give you goosebumps!Since there has been so many reviews that compare this movie to Mary Poppins, I cannot resist the temptation to add my 2 cents worth. Even as a child, I didn't care for Mary Poppins. I know that a lot of people love it and it is a classic, but in my opinion is is just TOO syrupy sweet. Nanny McPhee just doesn't come off as one dimensionally sugary, and is genuinely interesting to me. There are some similarities in the message, but in Mary Poppins, the children are simply perfect and misunderstood while the parents are neglectful and need to be taught a lesson. In Nanny McPhee, everyone has lessons to learn, and the children are depicted with as much to be corrected as the parent. The result is a story that is so much more interesting and has a more truthful ring than Mary Poppins.I especially liked how Nanny McPhee's physical appearance functions much like a mirror to the people she is helping. When she arrives, she is hideous - because THEY are hideous, but as the hearts of the family expand and grow, her appearance alters to reflect that. By the end of the movie, Nanny McPhee is as beautiful as the family has become. Love It! It reminded me of the Bible verse that says, "All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." (Hebrews 12:11) Very insightful message in my opinion. I also thought it was interesting that not EVERYONE in this story is helped to be a "better person" - some of the characters are genuinely blind, greedy and evil. The characters remain so until the bitter end and nothing can help them. Nanny McPhee is sent only to people who have hearts that are able to change. There has been some discussion among religious people over whether "Nanny" is a devil, but I think she is an angel. Even God Himself can look ominous to people who are in a degraded state, and I have no problem with how she appears at first. It is simply an indication of the state of the people who view her, and actually quite aptly drawn.I always thought that Emma Thompson is one of the most talented performers I know, but now I regard her as a bona fide genius, who can write as well as act. I am not a star struck woman, but this is one person I wouldn't mind meeting some day.

Family movie that teaches about coming together. It is sweet and funny
