NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS * (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Nanny McPhee Returns—terrific cast—has characters that are not as likable as the similar themed (magical nanny saves the day) movie Mary Poppins. The movie seems a bit rushed in places as if running toward its conclusion with some disjointed scenes between building character and displaying faith. The prequel film focuses on a father who needs household organization while the sequel focuses on a mother who needs household organization. It is what it is. If one enjoyed the first Nanny McPhee, there will be some satisfaction found in its sequel.
