Critics Consensus

A bit alarming at first, Nanny McPhee has a hard edge to counter Mary Poppins-style sweetness, but it still charms us and teaches some valuable lessons.

Nanny McPhee falls back on the Nickelodeon principle "If all else fails, hit 'em with a retina-searing overload of visual and aural information."

4/5

Providing some of the most entertaining 90 minutes you'll spend this spring, Nanny McPhee, even 16 years on, is proof that children's entertainment need not be an oxymoron, or something parents should avoid like the plague.

Nanny McPhee is neither pretty nor perky. She doesn't sing, dance, or sweep the children off to fantasyland. Thompson has said that there is a kind of zen quality to her, and that seems about right.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Non è ciò che ci si aspetta, non è un film sdolcinato e stile Mary Poppins in cui tutto è rose e fiori. Il mondo di Cedric e i suoi figli è una realtà terrificante e inaspettata, Perché è un film destinato ai più grandi. Colorato e pieno di morali, è un bel film forse non perfetto.
