The strangest and most unpredictable of nannies, “Nanny McPhee”, enters the Netflix catalog. A fantastic film for the whole family.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT ?
Since the disappearance of his wife, Mr. Brown has had a hard time with his seven children. From the eldest to the youngest, everyone makes the household a living hell. Between his work which consumes him and this horrible Aunt Adelaide who threatens to withdraw his essential financial aid if he does not remarry as soon as possible, Mr. Brown is reduced to hoping for a miracle. And he’s going to see Nanny McPhee arrive…
As frightening as she is enigmatic, this little woman is there to bring everyone back into line, but the children are not decided to let it happen! When Aunt Adelaide decides to take one of the girls from the home, it is time to react, and for the first time, Nanny and those who see her less and less as an enemy will team up…
FROM THE AGE OF 8
In the pyramid of actresses who transform from one role to another, Emma Thompson is at the top. She can do anything and does it well. Her role in the family comedy Nanny McPhee proves it.
To play this character, the British woman appears unrecognizable: a big nose, eyebrows that come together, questionable teeth and even a small growth above the lips… The whole story!
For many, the nanny is the anti-Mary Poppins – Nanny McPhee also contains some hidden nods to the Disney film. They both possess magical powers, but their methods – and appearances – are radically different. Emma Thompson still remains irresistible in this role which will undoubtedly charm the whole family.
To make the fun last, a sequel, released five years later, entitled Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, is also available now on Netflix.
WHAT THEY WILL LIKE
- Nanny McPhee is a funny, surprising, colorful family film, full of magic and with many visual gags that children will love.
- The children’s characters are explosive, but it is obviously that of the nanny, Nanny McPhee, that we particularly remember. If her arrival sends a chill, she becomes more and more endearing.
WHAT CAN FEAR THEM
Let’s be honest: Nanny McPhee is, at first glance, not the nanny that children dream of having. His first appearance is likely to confuse younger spectators who could quickly be impressed.
Both “Nanny McPhee” are available on Netflix.
