Nanny McPhee
Directed by Kirk Jones
Widower Cedric Brown hires Nanny McPhee to care for his seven rambunctious children, who have chased away all previous nannies. Taunted by Simon and his siblings, Nanny McPhee uses mystical powers to instill discipline. And when the children's great-aunt and benefactor, Lady Adelaide Stitch, threatens to separate the kids, the family pulls together under the guidance of Nanny McPhee. From TMDB

59 of 59 · most liked first'Danny McPhee' could work as a remake of Nanny McPhee, but starring Danny McBride. I could not remember what his name was until I finally got a chance to look it up. "Danny McPhee" was one of the names that kept popping into my head during that time, so enjoy that thought...

positive · AI labelView post →Both Paddington movies. Edit to add Nanny McPhee (both again) because that's what I'm about to do with my evening.
positive · AI labelView post →Right. 😜 I haven’t seen her film, but I really liked Nanny McPhee.

positive · AI labelView post →Nanny McPhee is one of my favourite children's films of the past 20 years, and EMMA THOMPSON writing the musical (having written and starred in the film) bodes very well. V hopeful that this will outclass the dreadful Paddington musical, which was bewilderingly soulless. nannymcpheethemusical.com

In the movie, Nanny McPhee Returns, she uses that word when she speaks to Mr. Edelweiss (the bird), telling him he gets the collywobbles when he eats too much putty. Only time I've heard it. ☺️

positive · AI labelView post →It was a lil inspired by the second Nanny McPhee movie. City boy sent to the farm. I think we changed it from war reasons to Vox running from his cult, lying on his resume to get a job as Alastor's farm hand in the middle of nowhere.

That [initial scene in the first film](https://youtu.be/RUKc3NxdW3w?t=275) where she meets the children is probably my favourite. There's something incredibly satisfying about the sound design.

neutral · AI labelView post →Made with passion and humour, #ISwear is a heart-warming film, reminding us just how much empathy is needed in society. Kirk Jones, the director of Nanny McPhee, also highlights the importance of mutual support within a community. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nanny McPhee is incredibly cliche but it is such a feel good story. I love it and keep rewatching it. 14/x
positive · AI labelView post →Speaking of surprises, I did not expect much from Madagascar but it was pretty good. Though they definitely should have stopped at one movie. Same with Sin City, where the sequel really took away from the original. Another pleasant surprise and a fav - Nanny McPhee! 8/x

neutral · AI labelView post →I want to apologise many months later for how I went about this entry, treating whatever troubles I had at the time as more important than an actual discussion of the film itself. With that said, Nanny McPhee is the most delightfully British film since bloody everything Wallace & Gromit related.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s family film was Nanny McPhee which was a definite hit with the kids. Hoping it might encourage them to behave a bit better?!? I really need some magic to get my kids to go to bed when told. Also I’d like a glow-up like Emma Thompson’s.
positive · AI labelView post →On a recent road trip we listened to Emma Thompson’s Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. In the audiobook Thompson mixes her print story with a “diary” of the movie version that in part describes how movies are made. For me it was very educational.
