Plots(1)
Nanny McPhee (Thompson) arrives to help a harried young mother (Gyllenhaal) who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war, though she uses her magic to teach the woman's children and their two spoiled cousins five new lessons. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (2)
Surprisingly, not knowing the previous film with Nanny McPhee is not a particular retardant or redundancy in the audience's cooperation in forming active hypotheses about the true nature. And Maggie Gyllenhaal! And the pseudo-war stylization!

It's a terrible shame that it basically repeats what was presented in the first film. The story is actually the same; it's just a slightly different family, but that doesn't make it a second part of the film, just a copy. It's all the more sad because there are some interesting actors here. Unfortunately, even in this case, the fact remains that a repeated joke isn't really a joke.
