Hiding behind lots of face putty, a couple of disgusting warts, a bulbous nose, a gleaming buck tooth and a fat suit is actress-screenwriter Emma Thompson, who has gotten herself mixed up in a trying-too-hard children's fable about a magical governess, Nanny McPhee. Desperate to teach tots lessons in civil behavior, this film gives itself the challenge of the seven naughty children of widower mortician Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), who have conspired to chase away 17 previous nannies. Enter the unflappable Ms. McPhee... Read the full review
A not-so-pretty nanny with magical powers takes charge of seven unruly children, who begin to notice that their vile behavior now leads swiftly to rather startling consequences.
