Movie#61 Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

I was feeling really playful the other day and thought I should spent time in a less serious mood. So, even though I had options at the store, I decided to go with this one because it was meant for kids. It has Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maggie Smith, Rhys Ifans, Emma Thompson and cameo by Ewan McGregor.
Have you all forgotten the classic, Mary Poppins? This movie is in line with that genre but it is not a musical or contains no songs. It has a mother,  her three kids, their two cousins, their 'innocently' crooked uncle, a lovely old lady, a friendly policeman, a clumsy world war german pilot, a returning father, a grumpy father, an obedient royal guard, a warm chauffer, two 'less serious and only talk' loan sharks and finally a loveable nanny. Well I hope i have covered all the main actors involved. Moreover it has animal characters too such as, five or six piglets who can do things beyond our imagination and their capability, a crow who has affinity to window putty and burps loudly, a cute baby elephant, and cameo appearance from a cow and a goat. In addition to all these lovely characters, there are special effects which are fun to watch especially for kids. As for adults, it is a nice watch but just for one view only.
The gist of the story is very simple and it is about a magical nanny who comes into a family of four ( a mother and her three kids) plus two ( their city cousins). The nanny through her magic teach the kids five valuable lessons. Go for it and give this one a try. It will make your night a good night. My personal rating is 3 out of 5…
