Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang review



Here's another round of movie review, I have the honour of watching the new Nanny McPhee's movie, Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang. If you guys watched the first movie, it's about a story of a nanny, called McPhee. She is sent to help those in need, with one simple way of doing her job, "when you need me, but don't want me, I will be here, if you don't need me, but want me, I have to go". With a little help, well a lot of help from magic, Nanny McPhee put even the most troublesome kid into line.

The 2nd installment of the movie start with a single mother, Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal) with her hectic life after her husband was enlisted into the 2nd World War, trying to balance her busy life with her 3 child. Problem started when cousins from town come to the country side after being sent away by their mother, Isabel's children hated their cousins and were fighting all the time, that is until Nanny McPhee appear. Where she started a new 5 rules

But a more sinister hand is at work, Mr.Phil, Isabel's brother-in-law, who is also the co-owner of the farm that Isabel are maintaining, is trying to sell it to someone he lost to in a gambling. Unknowing to Isabel, Mr.Phil work his dark hand around the farm trying to make her sign an agreement so that she would sell the farm, but all were stop by the magical power of Nanny McPhee.

With the tagline, "You'll Believe Pig Can Fly!" the 2nd installment offer a lot more laugh. A very easy and fun movie for the whole family. Although the story is a little short, and seems like the plot did not develop, it also help to remember that this is a family movie, what children love most is the laughter and magic in it.

A must watch for family that love simple story of laughter, fun, love and magic.
