PG for a reason. saw the movie,here is some of the scenes from the movie...
im going to b explaining this:
first scene: they show their (ugly) home and animals pooping on the farm and yelling and "get off the furniture because i want the house to look nice for our rich cousins"
towards the next scene: all the items in a shop start talking and saying "THE PERSON YOU NEED IS NANNY McPHEE" and also before that part,there is more bratty rich cousins realizing when they step out of the car they will be stepping in animal poop...and the diva-like young daughter is FIGHTING to stay in the car. after her clothes are dropped and ruined, there is a scene shortly after they are in the house where the cousin (boy) gets 'dad's jam' which is a jar of jelly they took years\months to make and opens it when they say put it back and then slides it across the table and breaks it to pieces. they are then violently fighting in another scene where the mom can't individually handle the children herself so nanny mcPhee appears magically and greets the kids upstairs,(she greets the mom first). it may be a bit intense for young children whenever they are fighting when the camera people show a better view of it. nanny mcPhee then says,"stop fighting" and also a kid throws this paper thing in a fire. they don't listen SO SHE WHIPS OUT HER CANE AND BANGS IT!!! -it pauses everything,and a black bird can then get the paper thing out of the fire instead of making the kid do it (which is why she is upset at him). she also would make them fight themselves instead of fight others. she said she wouldnt make it stop unless they said they were sorry like they meant it. they then said they were sorry and she made it stop and she went downstairs and told the mom lesson 1,stop fighting,was complete. then they obeyed her when she said to go to bed. but they were having trouble with that and they were saying "ID RATHER SHARE WITH A GOAT" or "ID RATHER SHARE WITH AN ELEPHANT" so she magically makes a goat and elephant sleep with the kids who said that. they said that since they didnt want to share with someone else (human). one of the kids wouldnt have to share a bed. then in the morning,she blows a loud trumpet to wake them up and says "out of bed get dressed and downstairs for breakfast on the double"(right now). well whenever all the kids are downstairs except one cousin (the girl) they find her in the kids moms dress (not hers)she said it was the only nice thing for her to wear cause her other clothes got covered in poop. they were then telling her how she cant wear that and all. when they got to the farm, the piglets were gone. so they had to chase the piglets (my favorite part of the movie). nanny mcPhee used her magical cane to make the pigs "fly",climb trees,and swim in a fanciful way. yet they still didnt catch the pigs. so the cousin (boy)'s strategy was to use an important part of the dress she was wearing to catch the pigs. they showed the mom the pigs they had caught,but she was upset about what they had used to get the pigs. i cannot remember much more. PLEASE give this a "helped me decide" or "had useful details" :D P.S. i gave itage 9+ cause of the violence (pretty mild though).
My list of complaints:
1. The "good" mother is weak, helpless, and easily duped. She's desperate for her husband to come take care of things again. Another mother is neglectful and materialistic.
2. One father is off fighting in a war. Another is neglectful, and calls his young son weak-minded.
3. An evil uncle with gambling debts tries to con his sister-in-law out of her farm by forging a telegram that says her husband was killed.
4. Nanny McPhee gets better looking as the kids learn to behave better. She's the only competent adult main character.
I regret letting my son see this. The message he's likely to come away with is that you can't count on your family to take care of things, and that physical beauty and goodness are connected.
Predictable, delightful, fun. Children get to watch children struggle and overcome challenges and the magical parts are goofy and funny. It drags a bit in spots for the adults... but the children are happy throughout and at the end...so its a winner for the family.
I have seen it before so has my 7 year old sister! and from my opnion i loved it! so i think kids 6 and up should see it. there is one bad guy but it gives the story a little taste if you know what i mean so yeah! :)
I think that this movie is pretty pathetic, A kid would NEVER be able to disfuse a bomb! and anyway, I think that if "Nanny mc Phee" Was real then she would simply be arrested for child abuse! [Ok maybe she would get her stick] But in a word Pathetic
This movie is great. It's called the sequel to Nanny McPhee but it's a completely different family. It's really a wonderful story and it's great for young kids. In the beginning it's kind of violent when the kids fight with each other, but it gets better from there.
Spot on for 8-11 yrs old and perfect for a parent too
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Life lessons shown are fantastic. My boys enjoyed the rough and tumble yet compassionate children. Tugged at your heartstrings towards the end. Sweet and timeless story. I agree the 1st one was better told however this one gets right to the point and doesn't drag on. It's a good movie, plain and simple!
it was a good film and nothing wrong with it but it just wasnt my type of genre it was kinda boring but it had positive messages and it was educational
I saw this with my little bro it was such a good movie and nanny mcphee is such a rolemodel for kids but she is a little scary looking but the movie was so cute and sweet!
We really enjoyed this movie. It follows the same predictable formula as the first: Lessons learned, warts disappearing, slap stick humor. However, that familiarity is comforting. The first movie was a bit edgy and slightly frightening. This one is pretty cute. Some parents will roll their eyes, but the kids will like it. It reminded me of a good old fashioned Disney movie. It isn't something that you need to see in the theatre. However, we felt is was something worth supporting. We want Hollywood to continue putting out this kind of family friendly movie, something without 3D effects or potty humor. Just clean fun.
I took an 8 and 11 year old boys and they both enjoyed it.
This is such a cute movie. Six year old and sixteen year olds alike will enjoy it. Also, Asa Butterfield's acting was stupendous. He did a great job.(: Highly recommend.
I really liked this movie I saw the first one too and I also liked that one a lot. Because the first one was so good I thought the sencond one would be just a repeat of what the first on was. I ended up likeing the 2nd one better. You should see it.
Terrific movie, great for family viewing. Provided some thought-provoking themes and ideas (launched discussions of WWII as well as divorce at that time). Nothing too scary or intense. Just a fun, uplifting movie.
