NANNY McPHEE (2005)

* * *

D: Kirk Jones: (Emma Thomson, Colin Firth, Kellie McDonald, Imelda Staunton, Derek Jacoby, and Angela Lansbury)

PG for mild thematic elements, some rude humor and brief language.
97 m. US/UK/France


Tagline: You'll learn to love her. Warts and all.

Very charming fairy tale fantasy about a widower with seven rambunctuous children and a mysterious, magical nanny who comes into their lives. Strong elements of Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and Edward Scissorhands, yet completely original. A whimsical, gentle comedy and veddy, veddy British.
