Review of the movie Nanny Mcphee Returns

For my next movie review, I have decided to review a rather popular childrens movie that I watched with my son last week.  The movie is Nanny Mcphee Returns.  This movie is a rather unconventional movie about a pretty conventional family!  This movie is about a struggling mother (played by Maggie Gyllenhal) whose husband is off to war, and she has three highly entergetic but very helpful children.  They are trying to take care of a huge farm all by themselves, as well as tend to their wheat crop which is their bread and butter.  As usual with siblings, there is quite a bit of bickering and quarreling that goes on.  The mother also has a job in which her boss seems to be going senile, and a brother-in-law who is constantly trying to talk her into selling the family farm so he can receive his part of the funds to pay a large gambling debt.  The family loves their farm, so the mother absolutely refuses to sell.  The family is a loving family even though they do not have a lot of money.  They also havent heard from the father for quite a while, and wonder if he is alright.  To make matters worse, their cousins from London are coming to stay for the summer.  And the reason I say matters are made worse is because the cousins are not like them at all- they are overprivledged little snots who make fun of every aspect of their life. When it is clear this family is in need of help, a mysterious woman shows up at their door one night, just as the children are fighting.  Her name is Nanny Mcphee!  She tells the mother there is no charge for her services, and that she is hear to help.  The mother is absolutely ecstatic.  Nanny Mcphee is a rather ugly woman to put it bluntly.  She has a unibrow, a huge nose, two hairy moles, a large front tooth that protrudes out of her mouth, and a rather plump body to go along with it. Nanny Mcphee is a magical nanny that any child would be totally lucky to have.  The thing about Nanny Mcphee is that "if you need her, but dont want her, she has to stay- but when you want her but no longer need her, she has to leave."  Nanny Mcphee teaches the children five lessons.  This movie is a very heartwarming tale of a loving family who just needs some help, and Nanny Mcphee proves to be just the woman who can do it!  Kids and adults of all ages should love this movie.  I absolutely give it two thumbs up!  Its definitely worth the watch!
