Nanny McPhee Returns


A friend and I went to see "Nanny McPhee Returns." That is McPhee with a little c and a large P. Gosh, it was such a cute kids movie. Emma Thompson plays Nanny. Both Maggie Smith and Gyllenhaal are in the show. Nanny McPhee and Mary Poppins are both English child care workers who use magic to keep the kids in line. Mary Poppins sings all the time. Nanny doesn't sing. She doesn't even talk very much. Both fly. Mary uses an umbrella. Nanny, more to my style, uses a motorcycle with a sidecar. Mary had a friend who cleaned chimneys. Nanny has a friend who is a crow who belches a lot because he eats window putty. Mary Poppins is attractive throughout her movie. Nanny McPhee gets more attractive as the kids learn each lesson she is trying to teach the. The kids learn to share and boom! Her unibrow is gone. If you like pigs, you should see this movie. The scenes with pigs are very cute. Pigs fly, climb trees, smile, and complete synchronized swimming routines. The scenery is very nice. A field of barley is where a lot of drama happens. The swaying stems of ripe barley looks very lush and makes me want to see a real field of barley now. I loved this movie. And yes, I cried.
