Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

Aroview: Emma Thompson again pens and stars in the second installment about the otherworldly nanny, accompanied again by a staggering array of British thespians.

This time the wise and warty Nanny McPhee, when "needed the most and wanted the least" sets her broomstick down to nurse a farmhouse family whose father is off at war, and to distribute her five important lessons. Executed with great affection and exuberance by all, this is every bit as entertaining as the first.
