Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

2010 · 1h 49m · Comedy, Fantasy, Family

IMDb 6.1 Metacritic 52 RT 76%

Skip it unless you've got restless kids who need entertaining—this sequel trades the original's charm for overcomplicated CGI hijinks and feels more like a chaotic toy commercial than a proper story. The premise is solid family fun, but Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang gets lost trying to do too much with flying motorcycles and magical elephants instead of focusing on actual heart.

Plot

Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny discovers that the children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant, Nanny uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.

Director: Susanna White

Cast: Emma Thompson, Asa Butterfield, Lil Woods, Oscar Steer, Rosie Taylor-Ritson
