    A very unusual nanny, though I do admire her sense of order. Aunt Lucy always says that good manners are important, but a hard stare can be just as effective.

    one of my aunties has this issue where, when she gets drunk, she uncontrollably quotes “the person you need is nanny mcphee” at least once every five minutes and I think I’m the only one who’s noticed

    there’s no way thomas brodie-sangster is fifteen in this. absolutely no way. i refuse to believe it. the man doesn’t look a day over eight. he’s gotta be a wizard or something and age two times slower than everyone else, because this is ridiculous.

    MY MOVIE as a kid!! Coming back after all these years was so exciting. I remember rewatching this movie over and over. I know every scene by heart. The story is beautiful, emotional, and nostalgic. These characters, especially Nanny McPhee, will forever have a place in my heart ❤️

    a coitada n precisava abonitar a medida q as pessoas gostam dela. podiam só gostar dela, não? fica meio esquisito, tipo, pra ser gostada preciso deixar de ser feia? só sou bonita se sou gostada? só sou gostada se sou bonita? pior q isso nada a ver com a personalidade da nanny

    the press that the media is doing for witches is actually crazy. Nanny McPhee walked so Wicked could run. almost made me forget that the origin of witches are evil 😭 love this movie though 9/10 a very endearing story

    Nanny McPhee is more than a Mary Poppins wannabe as it’s well-acted, funny, and fun for all ages with plenty of heart and a good message.

Colorful, noisy and brimming with special effects, the picture may please young audiences simply looking for loud action, but its corny storyline and brittle lack of warmth may discourage both parents and children.
