Product Description
Synopsis:
In Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world.
In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave.
Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.

The whole family enjoyed this - each laughing in different places as different aspects were appreciated by different age groups. A touch of Fantasia in the synchronised piglets - adorable. Particularly well written and set in 1940s with nods to the Famous Five 'lashings of ginger beer' and the derring-do of Wallace And Gromit style chases in motocycle and sidecar. We all loved it, and if you're looking for a DVD for Christmas viewing when all the family are together - this is it.

Nanny McPhee/Nanny McPhee & The big bang are both really entertaining films for the whole family.They were equally as good but in the second film the animals were brilliant.If your into fantasy with good humour( In my opinion)this box set is a very good buy.

The second Nanny McPhee movie varies very little from the format of the first. A parent living on their own struggles to cope with a number of "high spirited" children. A magical Nanny appears uninvited to teach the children a few lessons about socially acceptable behaviour, gradually improving her physical appearance as each lesson is learned.
This time Maggie Gyllenhal is the stressed parent. Her husband is fighting in the war and she struggles to run the farm, especially with debt ridden brother-in-law Rhys Ifans trying to persuade her to sell the farm.
Happily this time the children aren't as annoying as in the first film. They are very helpful around the farm but do not get on with their two visiting posh cousins. Thankfully Nanny McPhee teaches them the benefits of everyone getting along together.
Written by Emma Thompson the young ones will enjoy the slapstick and chase scenes but adults who have seen the first film may find it a bit repetitive. The acting is generally good. Ms. Gyllenhal's English accent is excellent though her acting veers towards the shrill at times.
An enjoyable if unoriginal children's film

I ordered this item as a gift so I have not opened it, however it was promptly received. I was disappointed to find that the packaging of the box set was not the same as in the picture, which is not what I wanted. What I received was a card slipcase with one DVD case (presumably with 2 DVD discs inside), rather than 2 DVD cases with one disc in each. I may return it.

Wasn't impressed with this one. Nowhere near as good as the original Nanny McPhee. I was quite disappointed. The prompt delivery was good though.

I purchased this DVD for my mum as a christmas gift as she really enjoyed the first Nanny McPhee film. We both throughly enjoyed this DVD as its a funny family film with lots of laughs along the way and Emma Thompson who plays Nanny McPhee is a briliant actress. Its deffinetly a must see film and the kids will love it guaranteed. Very happy with this purchase :-D

Nanny Mcphee And The Big Bang was a really good purchase. Great family film.
Emma Thompson as always is such a good actress and Ralph Fiennes is just gorgeous.The children's acting was excellent.
It was so easy to purchase from Amazon and came by first class post very quickly and much cheaper than most supermarkets.
I would certainly use Amazon again, most efficient.
