Nanny McPhee Returns 2010 Review

Animated films may come to dominate the family-film genre, but they’ll never entirely edge out their live-action counterparts -- not so long as there exist characters like Nanny McPhee, whose charms could never be properly rendered in a computer. After a half-decade away from the big screen, Emma Thompson2’s magical governess is back to take on a new batch of recalcitrant children in Nanny McPhee Returns. She's gotten better with age.

The second chapter of the Nanny McPhee saga, which marks a definitive improvement over the first, sends the unsightly taskmaster to the English countryside, where Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), the mother of three rambunctious tots (Oscar Steer, Asa Butterfield, and Lil Woods), has been left alone to raise her unruly brood and manage the family farm while her husband is away at war. (Though it’s never specifically mentioned, the film is presumed to take place during World War II.) Harried but capable, Isabel’s tenuous grip on her unfortunate situation begins to loosen when a pair of privileged London cousins (Eros Vlahos and Rosie Taylor-Ritson) and a shady, indebted brother-in-law (Rhys Ifans) arrive to wreak fresh havoc in her already chaotic existence. On the verge of losing control of both her farm and her family, she opens the door to find Nanny McPhee’s wart-covered visage staring back at her, and not a moment too soon.
