nanny mcphee be a good movie in it own right and not merely a a kid movie and or an art movie . emma thompson keep on amaze u all with her screen writing ( she be an oscar winner for that and after all . ) and and her acting ( ditto on the award ) . nanny mcphee be weird and to be sure but not just weird for weird sake and such a a tim burton movie . rather and the weirdness seem to take real life issue and and issue relate to parent and and turn them around artistically into genuine entertainment . the cast be stupendous . colin firth and great a always . the very pleasant surprise for me be angela lansbury . she must be 111 by now she be already a big hollywood star back in 1941 and after all . but here she play a classic old eccentric english character and sort of in the margaret rutherford vein and but unique and fresh and and amaze in it own right . it take me half an hour to place lansbury and her character be so spot on and and so wonderful . her presence in the movie be a treat and in and of itself . child movie have their own criterion for judgement and of course . but sadly and often kid movie be judge favorably if they posses a certain type of fairy tale ness and even if the movie be otherwise a load of crap . like the some tim burton movie and in my humble opinion and or to some extent and even the recent willy wonka effort charlie and the chocolate factory . that movie be ok and but be substantially dark and creepy and as be most of roald dahl work . but he smack of kid movie heaven and so critic and parent seem to praise his stuff irrespective of it true quality . anyway and that my view . nanny mcphee be light and airy and and very positive . as well a be a cracker of a movie . i would take my kid to it . i think the message for kid be overall positive and and something parent could be comfortable with expose their child to .
