What do you get when you take Mary Poppins and add one too many spoonfuls of sugar? You get Nanny McPhee, the new film written by and starring Emma Thompson. The film follows a single father and his seven children, who, aside from their cuteness factor are the worst behaved kids you have ever seen. After driving out their seventeenth Nanny, the children’s father, played by Colin Firth, seeks the help of Nanny McPhee, a Nanny with an unorthodox way of teaching children morals.

This film is very enjoyable. It has a storybook feel to it, but is unpredictable and takes you places you never expect.
