User reviews Review. Top review. Excellent family fun! This definitely has to be one of the best films of the year and is something that can be enjoyed by the whole family, from the wee tot to grandparents. Based upon the 'Nurse Matilda' books by Christianna Brand, the film revolves around seven motherless children who have frightened off seventeen nannies much to their over-wrought father's dismay.
The children are unruly and their father has his own stresses of desperately searching for a wife before his mean-spirited great aunt cuts off his allowance and everything is falling apart at the seams Think of 'Mary Poppins' if Roald Dahl had written the character and you have an idea of what happens next! The best thing about this film is that while it will appeal to children, it doesn't dumb down or indulge in cavity-inducing sweetness that you tend to see in films produced by Hollywood.
There is much humour and fun to be had but there is also a darker tone, what with children being threatened with the Work House and their father speaking to corpses! The actors are all excellent. Colin Firth was perfect as this dithering man who may be meek but will do anything for his children and Emma Thompson is totally unrecognisable as the lead character of Nanny McPhee she also deserves much recognition her skills in script-writing this film.
But it's Angela Lansbury, as snooty Great Aunt Adelaide, who steals the show with the way she spends much of the film with such a sour face that could curdle the milk! Aunt Adelaides house is set in Stitch Manor. It was a filming location called Knebworth house in a place Called Hertfordshire.
The Brown family are extremely naughty because they don,t want to be told. They are always very lazy. And the daughters are sent to live in Aunt Adelaides house which is ussally called stitch manor.
And throwing cakes at each other. Keep up the good work! You know, many people are looking around for this information online, you could help them greatly.
