Watch Nanny McPhee For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Blistering performances.

Whilst 'Nanny McPhee' is obviously made for and promoted as a kids film, it is certainly entertaining and witty enough to be enjoyed by adults too.The star of the show is of course Emma Thompson, who delivers an exceptional performance as Nanny McPhee. You could tell she was enjoying herself in the role and was a joy to watch on screen. I doubt anybody could have done a better job.As a family comedy/fantasy movie, 'Nanny McPhee' is pretty good. It will certainly please younger viewers whilst also keeping older ones entertained.

Nanny McPhee is a surprisingly unpleasant movie. Not a single one of its characters is appealing at all, so I never cared what happened to any of them - especially the children.It's remarkable that the casting directors managed to find seven such unattractive and unlikeable children, who become not a bit less unappealing after their magical transformation by Nanny from monsters into angels. The ONLY character who is not actively repellent is the father, but he is so annoyingly irresponsible and ineffectual that his passive aggression makes him the least sympathetic of them all.His determination to remain forever dependent on his dead wife's monstrous aunt is especially disgusting. I'd have loved it if he HAD ended up in debtors' prison - which is exactly where he belonged - with his ugly, obnoxious children scattered among the dregs of Dickensian England. I suppose it's realistic that such a determinedly incompetent father would produce such repulsive children, but why make a movie about such a repulsive family?I marvel at the glowing reviews this movie gets. I did not like it at all. Fortunately I also had the superficially similar Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium to watch the same day - with its wholly delightful cast of characters and the most adorable child actor I've ever seen - to clean my palate of this sour, repellent movie.

The film should be watched twice. I' m not kidding. First time you see it you take it as a nice fairy tale sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad but still a fairy tale. After watching it for the second time I realized that it tells us very important things. The very first lesson I've learnt is how important, almost vital the role that parents play in their children's life, is. Mr.Brown was so mush absorbed by his grief that he stopped reading bed –time stories to his children, playing cricket with them, talking with Simon. That was the starting point when all the troubles with the children started. It was lesson number ONE. No matter how busy we are, what problems we have, we should always remember about our children, keep an eye on them, care for them. As soon as we stop doing that everything goes wrong. Lesson number TWO. We remember very well how Nanny McPhee looked like when she first appeared in the family: her "potatous" nose , the warts … But in the course of time she became nicer and nicer. It all happened because the children became better and better. At the end of the film we meet a very nice, slender woman who has nothing to do with Nanny McPhee we met in the beginning. What is the lesson? Very much in our life depends on ourselves and people around us. The worse and uglier they are the uglier we ourselves become. My conclusion? Be kind, friendly, understanding, sympathizing , and there will be no "warts" around you. PS. I was quite disappointed when in one of the interviews I read that Mr. C. Firth felt ashamed of his part in the film. He wouldn't like his sons to see him running, jumping and all that. What was wrong about that? It sounded to me somewhat "snobbish". Or I must have misunderstood what he said. Did I?

17 governesses have tried to run widower Mr. Brown's house, all have fled after being terrorised by his out of control children. Enter the mysterious and unsightly Nanny McPhee, whose magical timing could not be more apt.Emma Thompson adapts from a series of books written by Christianna Brand known as the Nurse Matilda stories. Directed by Kirk Jones (Waking Ned), Nanny McPhee is a delightfully funny family adventure that should hopefully cheer the bluest of hearts. With a very old fashioned ethic at its heart, the film loads in some modern day tricks and eye pleaser's and washes it in vibrant colours. Set in some unnamed place, the film is like a fusion of Alice In Wonderland and Mary Poppins with a slice of Love Actually thrown in for the adults.Thompson takes the lead role and has a blast with it, it seems that McPhee is a role she has waited a long time for. Attacking it with gusto yet constantly having a cheeky glint in her eye, Thompson is just perfect and it comes as no surprise to learn that the sequel is imminent. The rest of the cast keep it fun, Colin Firth as Mr. Brown is playing it as Colin Firth does, elegant yet borderline soft, and Imelda Staunton is revelling in playing the almost nut case Brown family cook. Then there is Celia Imrie's horrid Mrs Quickly, big hair, big smile and big bosom, her scenes in the last quarter are quality comedy, while the beautiful Kelly Macdonald impacts with what is the crucial, yet small, role. The kids are not sickly or annoying, led by Love Actually's Thomas Sangster, director Jones deserves much credit for bringing them all together to engage and entertain without pointless histrionics.But this is Thompson's show, a memorable turn in what is clearly a source subject close to her heart. 7/10
