Nanny McPhee Returns

Emma Thompson "Returns" as the magical "Nanny McPhee," appearing when she's needed the most and wanted the least. When Nanny McPhee appears at the farmhouse door of a busy young mother, Isabel Green (Gyllenhaal), she discovers that Mrs. Green's children are in an all-out household war with their two spoiled city cousins. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life, to a tree-climbing piglet and an elephant that turns up in the oddest laces, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to show the children five valuable lessons, the most important of which is learning how to get along. Based on the "Nurse Matilda" character created by Christianna Brand.(Gary Reber)
