Emma Thompson lends both her Oscar-winning acting and writing talents to this screen adaptation of Nanny McPhee, the story of a magical nanny charged with caring for the seven worst children in the world. Reminiscent of P.L. Traver's creation of Mary Poppins, Nanny McPhee is a dour, cartoonishly ugly woman who proves a remarkably effective disciplinarian and caretaker for the unruly brood. A fanciful film brought to life with a twisted visual imagination and clever storytelling, Nanny McPhee is a wildly charming children's tale that will continue to delight generations for years to come. Also starring Colin Firth and Angela Lansbury.
