This time around she turns.Nanny McPhee is a 2005 British fantasy movie. A refreshingly old-fashioned venture into Enid Blyton territory dressed up with the occasional big CGI flourish, it’s a nicely played story of childhood adventure and the importance of family.The strange nanny with some very useful powers returns in this enjoyable sequel to the hugely popular first Nanny McPhee movie. Nanny Hawkins, from Evelyn Waughs book Brideshead Revisited (1945) Nanny Hutchinson, in the novel The Nanny Diaries (2002) and its sequel Nanny Returns (2010), by former nannies Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus Nanny McPhee, the titular character in the film Nanny McPhee (2005), based on Christianna Brands Nurse Matilda book seriesFor anyone who says they don’t make films like they used to any more, Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang provides a pleasant reminder that, in fact, sometimes they do.
Nanny McPhee is about a nanny called who had magic, and used it to help naughty children be good. The script is based on Christianna Brands Nurse Matilda books. The stars of Nanny McPhee are Emma Thompson and Colin Firth.Thompson also wrote the script for the movie.
Emma Thompson, scripting again, leaves things pretty much as they were before. Fans of the original Nanny McPhee will likewise enjoy Big Bang.

Out go the primary colours and confined spaces, in come golden hues and bigger landscapes.Where the first film often flirted with pantomime, Big Bang goes bigger and bolder. Last seen at the helm of TV’s Generation Kill, White takes the film in a very different visual direction than Kirk Jones’ opener. And it’s in Big Bang‘s first half that director Susanna White gets to have most fun. Enter Thompson’s Nanny McPhee, ruling with a magic wooden stick and with the pedigree to deal with Gyllenhaal’s naughty kids and their embittered city cousins forced to stay with them.But once Nanny McPhee enters, the film settles into its own rhythm.
Rhys Ifans scores a nice West Country accent (perhaps a little too Justin Lee Collins at times) while Maggie Smith adds a touch of class. The children are better than expected too, especially Eros Vlahos and Rosie Taylor-Ritson as the posh cousins Cyril and Celia. Gyllenhaal’s English accent is commendably good, although she does seem stuck on two settings: desperate exasperation and English rose. Credit to Thompson and White for pulling it off for the most part, even if it is a little over-long at close to 110 minutes.Big Bang also benefits from a committed cast. Children scream excitedly at the mention of ginger beer and picnic like a Famous Five adventure, burping birds, cow poo-related slapstick and a threat of Rhys Ifans having his kidneys removed provide the comedy, while the film’s big CGI moments offer plenty of whizz-bang. It slows to a bit of a crawl after a synchronised-flying-pig routine, where even a trip into London can’t quite shake it up.It is a tough balancing act at the heart of the film.
