Nanny McPhee (Full Screen Edition)

I loved this movie as a kid and still do it’s one of my favorites and always love to watch it definitely would recommend it to others and will watch it with my kids someday

Fantastic special effects. Kids always see something new when they watch again. Fun movie with a good moral story.

my family and I enjoyed watching this together and following the sooty, its a fun take on Mary Poppins, it has great teaching points and is just all together light hearted fun and educational.

I wanted a Blu-ray copy of Nanny McPhee. Received a Blu-ray Disc with both Nanny McPhee and Peter Pan (2003 version). I didn’t care about the latter, but if it works, that’s fine. I haven’t tried it yet. I do love Nanny McPhee.

Watched with the kids, 4&8. They loved it and watched it more than once. Super classic for the whole family.

I enjoyed this second Nanny McPhee movie as much as the first. This story was even sillier and farfetched than the first Nanny McPhee movie, but still enjoyable for all ages. I should know, as I am a senior citizen!LOL

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.

A stellar cast including Sir Derek Jacobi. If they had thrown in Dame Helen Mirren, it would have been complete.I loved the colors in the wedding. They were eye dazzling. Best part of the whole movie.The kitchen seen was so overdone, they might as well have eaten the baby! The children were better when being naughty than when they were being ruffians.All in all, it was fun. And that is twice Colin's son is Thomas.Get the family and loads of popcorn. Enjoy!

I got the 2019 re-issue Blu-Ray by Fabulous Films expecting it to be like what they said Universal’s version was or maybe even better being a re-issue but the picture quality is quite overly bright and contrast saturated that is makes the film kinda look like a cheap pirate copy transfer, i have seen screenshots on blu-ray.com from the universal release and it looks so sharp and colour balanced and this is nothing like that and it opens with the universal logo but i reckon fans should buy the universal and not the re-issue like i did!!!

A widowed father (Colin Firth) has seven children who are running riot in his household, scaring away a succession of nannies from the agency. The children are all excellent in this film, working together as a team, with excellent comic timing. The mysterious wart-covered Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson looking most unlike herself) arrives, and takes over….There's a lot of magic and some humour (mostly slapstick) in the film, alongside some quite sad subplots. The father works for a funeral parlour, which in itself is an odd feature for a children's film. He's lonely, the children are missing their mother. Nanny McPhee is very coercive but she's on their side, and her gradual transformation is nicely done, as the children become kinder and their father less stressed.I loved this when I first watched it over ten years ago, and recently saw it again with my three-year-old grandson. The rating is U in the UK; the US rating of PG is, in my opinion, more appropriate. I had forgotten that there are a couple of mild ‘bad’ words and a scene full of innuendoes, though nothing explicit. There’s a fair amount of mock violence too, though it's mostly intended to be humorous. It's really more appropriate for children of about seven and upwards.Still, this is a very enjoyable film with a big name cast, and I’m delighted that I had the opportunity to watch it again!

This one is a family favourite for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Lots of fun to be had with Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), his high spirited offspring and the rather formidable Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson). The film is beautifully made with imaginative sets in a psychedelic colour scheme, and the pranks of the seven youngsters are so outrageous that even the most mischievous children will know that they should not try any of this at home.This is a lovely film with an equally lovely cast. Colin Firth and Emma Thompson are always great, the great Angela Lansbury, Celia Imrie (an absolute hoot in this) and Kelly MacDonald appear in supporting roles, and with Thomas Brodie-Sangster as the eldest boy of the family there is an experienced pro heading the cast of child actors.The DVD reviewed -  Nanny McPhee [DVD ] - has English subtitles for those who may require them. It also comes with numerous extra features: - 2 Audio Commentaries - Casting the Children - Village Life - Nanny McPhee Makeover - Deleted Scenes - Gag Reel - How Nanny McPhee came to be Nanny McPhee [DVD

There are 2 editions of this film. One might be labelled the original version, the other is tagged THE BUMPER EDITION. Watch out for that one.It was not easy tracking down what exactly is the difference between the two. My only referense then came from a popular online UK retailer listing all the SPECIAL FEATURES found in the original version and then some. So, we bought the BUMPER.Wrong!!! BONUS FEATURES are nothing more than a short featurette, a BIG BANG trailer, some page extracts from the BIG BANG book, and an image gallery. No sign of the 2 commentaries, 4 featurettes, gag reel, delete scenes, etc. etc. all to be found on that much preferred original disc.The video transfer is terrific, no doubt. But if you are looking to add this to your collection, stay clear of BUMPER.Bah, humbug!

Knowing nothing but the R5 Kermode review of the sequel I thought "this will be good for the four-year-old at Easter." I bought it leaving it for family viewing while I did the "bloke thing" attempting to self-amputate body parts in the name of DIY.Hours later grabbed - yes GRABBED by the cheering audience departing our "home" cinema with grins I'd need a power tool to chisel off.Our age range is broad, taste even more diverse, but the opinion is unanimous, very mature production mixing great story telling of the tallest variety with genuine comic talent.Way above the typical American holiday fodder, a Mary Poppins for the Harry Potter generation.
