great film

Great movie... very naughty children learn how to behave well... and a nice warm story with soft ups and downs and lots of funny moments... no drinking no smoking... i don't remember any rude language... about sexuality well, there's a scene when the kids put an insect on a women's hair (she's willing to marry their dad) he throws himself at her and the girl says not so fast... its repeated i guess another time with the tea... and when he proposes to marry her the woman says to the children daddy needs to have some time with ur new mother and she closes the door... these things are not to worry about could be explained differently to children it could be explained like he looked like he attacked her and ruined everything and she did close the door so that she wanted to talk privately to their father... my sister was 9 years old when she watched it and she didn't notice a thing at all... its funny and a cool movie for kids this age they'll like it + its highly educative.. and i remember there's a kiss at the end when they get married :) ENJOY THE MOVIE

I was shocked by the 'crude suggestions' and innuendo which the film contained! I think it completely spoiled an otherwise innocent and fun story. I can't believe I'm the only person to object to it. I have never enjoyed crude 'carry-on film' type humour, I dont' think it's appropriate for children and this is where I find fault with Nanny McPhee.

I enjoyed this very much. I'm sorry to say that it didn't keep the attention of my children (ages 8, 5 and 4) very well. My 8 year old actually thought it was a little boring. It was also pretty easy to figure out the ending, but how they got to that ending was a little surprising. I especially like how Nanny McPhee didn't solve everything for them but allowed them to work out some of their own solutions. Also, how she told them they must be willing to accept consequences of their actions. Very, nice movie. I loved it!

My husband and I were in London in October whent this film was released there - we wish we'd have seen it then but instead had to wait until it was released here in the states several months later! We love this movie and I think Emma Thompson is wonderful (as usual) as are the children and all the rest of the supporting cast! I highly recommend it!

I found this to be the most boring children's movie I've seen in ages. My 5 year old was bored too--after 10 minutes she started playing a game and never got into it. I'm just glad I rented it and didn't pay to see this in the theatre. The new Mary Poppins? HARDLY!!! My daughter and I are sticking with the original.

I was very dissapointed in this movie. They could have done a much better job developing the charcters and had a much stronger movie. I did not enjoy this movie. Kids thought it was ok.

If you are expecting Mary Poppins, you will be very pleasantly disappointed! It's a heartwarming, funny, somewhat sad tale with what you think might be a predictable ending...or is it??? 2 Thumbs Up here!!

This was a sweet movie my kids loved it.

Delightful performances all around, from the kids on up. Special kudos to Emma Thompson (of course!), and charming-as-always Colin Firth, and the ever-amazing Angela Lansbury. We'll be seeing it again!!

I took my six yr old and five yr old. the six yo loves TV and movies, and did wonderfuly her first time in a theatre when she watched "Finding Nemo" when she was three. This was our first attempt back because I finally felt the five yo was old enough. I was wrong. She was scarrd by the begining and had trouble following the film. Our next attempt will be an animated feature, not live action. Emma Thompson is great. I would have liked to see the father "learn more" about bonding with his children, but you can only do so much in a short time. I had trouble with the sexual over tones of the widow's tea, but the kids were distracted by all the things the films children did. I liked that not all step moms are ugly and evil. And I loved the way Nanny becomes more attractive the longer you know her and learn to accept her.

My 2 and 4 year old went with us to see this movie. We read the reviews from other websites (overlooked Parentcenter.com) and found nothing in the reviews that the kids hadn't already seen. Granted, fear and suspense are part of everyday life, but not suitable for very young children. Overall, the kids liked the movie, but there were a few intense scenes that made my 4-year-old jump. Adults are desensitized to some of the more mundane visual stunts, which Nanny McPhee employs and horror movies have used for years. For example the main character, played by Colin Firth, is in a room alone and hears creaking hardwood floors. He gets up to investigate. The camera zooms in closely on him as he walks across the room, peers out the door, and appears satisfied that no one is near. As he turns around to walk back to his chair he turns to immediately face Emma Thompson's character. The director chose to introduce a loud noise at the same time, enhancing the surprise (I recall visual tricks like this in Freddy Kruger's Nightmare movies, and Friday the Thirteenth films, to evoke a sense of fear). The effect on my son was immediate; he jerked violently in his chair. Fortunately, Nanny McPhee wields only warts and a long tooth. A second example includes the use of uncovered, dead human bodies. Since the father of the seven children in this movie owns a mortuary, he is involved in a number of scenes using dead bodies as background. He even holds a brief chat with a greyish-skinned, open-eyed, man's corpse for a few seconds of the film. His co-workers also try to surprise him by jumping out of coffins in one part of the movie. Other than that, the movie was loud, childish, and had a good message.

Nothing to do on a Saturday? This was a wonderful little surprise. My 6 year old loved it; she was hooked after the first scene. The child actors are great. There is a sincerity to the movie that is refreshing. When Simon asks Nanny if she's on their side, it's endearing. My 3.5 year old couldn't sit still, though, there just wasn't enough for him. The potty humor scene is quite funny (the children are trying to introduce themselves because they think Nanny won't know their names.) It happens pretty early on and my daughter forgot about it by the time the movie was over. Potty humor with a British accent is just a little less offensive? It's just a sweet little story played by good actors and produced in a colorful, vivid manner that captures attention. The kids are terribly naughty, but they are not antisocial at all. In fact they do apologize to a victim for their antics once they learn dad's motives. So,take the kids and enjoy this sweet movie.

Nanny McPhee is wonderfully refreshing. I loved it and so did my 13 year old daughter. There was even applause at the end. I thought Nanny McPhee's appearance reflected the ugliness and the beauty in those around her. Outstanding...definitely a good one to take children to see. They will see the good and the bad and which is the better for it.

This movie was great. I took my 7 year old daughter and we both really-really enjoyed it! A must see!

My family and I went to see this movie. My son, who is 4, thought that is was great and so did we. If you don't mind potty humor, this is the movie for you.

I love this movie. It has a really good ending and the message is awesome. The only concern is a few occasional curses, but only few throughout the whole movie. Really cool!

This is great family movie for everyone to see. But it can get alittle boring.

I liked this movie. But ive seen better I was a littel freacked out by all the daed peaple in the guys office

it is a good movie for all ages!!!!!!

I loved it!

this was an amazing movie. it was sweet, happy, funny, and it wass great. i thought it would be bad but it was amazing!

This was a wonderful exciting movie. It was a little bit to much with the sexual encounterment in the tea scence, but it was a wonderful movie. I would not recomend it for boys though. It is more of a older kids movie because it has some crude jokes.!

This is like the boringest movie ever made! Sure if your a little kid u may like it, but I on the otherhand like action and Funny comedies, which does not at all describe Nanny McPhee! For some reason my 15 year old sister liked it, but all the other people my age said it was "Pointless and the dad had a voice which was highly obnoxious!" If u want a good movie see Big Mommas House 2 that was funny!

That movie was the best movie ever invented! My sister said it was great! My mom and dad loved it! I want to see it again!
