Nanny's back - that's McPhee

All right blog dogs, it's good to see that i've actually got two followers. I'm going to say to both of you, thanks for looking at my reviews. I hope you'll like my review this time too.



Recently I've also seen Nanny McPhee 2, if you've seen number 1 you've seen a good part of number 2. The story starts with three children and their mother (Mrs Green) who live on a farm in the British countryside during World War II. Their father has gone off to war and is presently fighting in the infantry units. Meanwhile on the farm, Mum's brother-in-law is trying to get the house because he gambled it away to a local casino. The family's rich cousins arrive because they're afraid London will be bombed and while the mother is at work you hear the familiar magical cry "The person you need is Nanny McPhee". It bothers the mother all the way home. Meanwhile the home crisis is going on, with the rich boy destroying a priceless family heirloom. The rich boy and girl get into a rumble with the family and obviously nobody one wins until Nanny McPhee comes to the rescue.

Nanny appears and she asks them to go to bed. They obviously say no but she uses her cane and makes them fight until they wreck the entire room. Then she says "lesson number one is to obey". They go to bed and Nanny McPhee asks them to sleep together but the children says they'd rather sleep with an elephant, a goat and a cow so of course Nanny McPhee makes the animals enter the room and the children have to sleep with them.

So as you've heard the story so far, if you think this sounds familiar, you'd be right. The similar thing to the last one is that there are terrible children at the start but they all end up good at the end because of Nanny McPhee. One of the good things about this movie is that there is more action, you get to see pigs flying, motorbikes flying and London during World War II. To be really honest, I was sorry it wasn't in 3D, it was only 2D. It was pretty good though. For the rating I'd give it 3.5 out of 5. You'll quite enjoy it and some parts you'll be leaning forward in your seats.

Next time we'll review the YouTube Video The Story of Stuff. You'll learn about how humanity isn't doing everything it can to protect the environment, humanity is destroying the environment. I saw it today in my classroom and it made me think I want to do something serious to stop this.

  3. Thank you for the well thought out review. I am a fan of Nanny McPhee. Have seen 1 but not 2 alas I will await the DVD. As you have stated Jackson, although the storyline is similar to No. 1. I will still wait with anticipation due to your score of 3.5/5. Well done Jackson.I look forward to your next review.
