Almost defiantly old-fashioned. There is something charming about the idea that children will still go for this sort of thing. Go to Full Review

Thompson spends much of Nanny McPhee Returns's interminable 109-minute runtime trying to set her homely titular heroine apart from Mary Poppins. Go to Full Review

Feels like an attempt to mimic the magic and creativity of Mary Poppins, but without the singing, the dancing, and the fun. Go to Full Review

John K @UndeadKingUK Nov 24 Not as good as the first film, but very watchable. The acting is decent, the story is interesting and the cast in this film is suprising. However, the only issue I had with it is that it felt like it was constructed more as a TV Series rather than a movie, this film almost has nothing to do with its predecessor apart from one mention and Emma Thompson as Nanny McPhee, and some parts were really boring. However, its worth a watch because of the cast and story.

See more Harrison D 10/02/2024 This Movie Is NOT Good, I Much Rather Call It a Terrible Film!!! See more Pedro G 03/24/2024 Excelente película, una secuela genial al nivel de la primera. Esta película nos presenta una situación parecida a la de la primera película, con una historia muy entretenida y divertida en la que unos chicos necesitan a una niñera para que ponga orden y les enseñe algunas cosas para mejorar sus actitudes. Sin embargo, en esta cinta creo que la niñera era mas que nada por la situación que vivía la familia y la madre, ya que los chicos a pesar de ser un poco insoportables y portarse mal, no eran como los de la primera película. Si bien no se reflejo del todo la actitud maleducada de los chicos, me parece que el mensaje sigue siendo claro y esta bien construido. La producción fue muy buena, las locaciones usadas están muy bien hechas y la banda sonora tiene un gran nivel. Por otro lado, los efectos cumplen y se nota una pequeña mejora a diferencia de la anterior película. El maquillaje, principalmente en la nana, sigue estando genial. Las actuaciones son brillantes, principalmente las de Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Asa Butterfield, Maggie Smith, Ewan McGregor, Rhys Ifans, Ralph Fiennes, etc. Por ultimo, quiero destacar el final de la cinta, ya que nuevamente es emotivo y esta vez se le suma un reencuentro muy emocionante y una revelación tremenda que nos va a emocionar bastante también. En conclusión, una excelente película para chicos y grande, que es muy disfrutable y te puede emocionar con algunas escenas. Muy recomendada.
