There's nothing like a tough, no-nonsense stranger coming into the home of exasperated and exhausted mothers to get their unruly children in line.
Nanny Mcphee fits that bill in the latest installment of the fantasy film series, "Nanny McPhee Returns," which opens tonight in theaters everywhere, including Louisiana Boardwalk 14 and Tinseltown USA. It stars Emma Thompson, a wonderful British actress who really takes an ugly pill for this role, and Colin Firth, a fairly versatile actor.
In this sequel , the story begins with a rural family where the father is away at war and the mother is at her wit's end trying to cope with another war brewing between her and her own children and their bratty cousins.
In comes the unslightly McPhee to the rescue with five magical lessons to whip the kids into shape, and thus erase McPhee's physical disfigurements.Your kids will love it.
See you at the movies.
That was a nice and imaginative intro for the movie PIC. Good work.
