“I was very pleasantly surprised by how u0026#39;Nanny McPheeu0026#39; turned out. I thought it was just another one of those family films but I was impressed all through and surprised as to how much I enjoyed it. There is a slight resemblance to u0026#39;Mary Poppinsu0026#39; but u0026#39;Nanny McPheeu0026#39; is very much its own film. Emma Thompson is a talented writer and she shows great understanding of childrenu0026#39;s imagination. u0026#39;Loved how the spectacular world was created. Itu0026#39;s colourful, extravagant, magical and funny. The lavish sets and designs are incredibly hypnotic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThen there are actors like Emma Thompson (superb), Colin Firth (great) and Imelda Staunton (hilarious) who hardly ever let down. It was great to see the one and only Angela Lansbury after a very long time, this time in a slightly villainous role. These actors make their characters unique. The child actors are good in their parts and Kelly MacDonald has a nice screen presence. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat makes u0026#39;Nanny Mcpheeu0026#39; different is its sense of humour (that gives it its own charm and appeal) and the colourful world that it presents. I also liked the symbolic representation of Nanny McPheeu0026#39;s physical transformation as she successfully managed to get the children to learn the lessons. Emma Thompson wonderfully writes the screenplay as there is not one moment where I felt that the film dragged. Of course we have seen similar stories in films before but itu0026#39;s the presentation and treatment that makes the difference and u0026#39;Nanny Mcpheeu0026#39; is nothing short of a delightfully amusing family film.”
