Nanny Mcphee and The Big Bang

Finally watched Nanny Mcphee 2! =)

I'm not a fan of sequels, somehow they always end up being dissapointing. Specially if the first one it's very good. Still, despiste of being a completely skeptic about sequels, I was really excited about Nanny Mcphee 2. I mean, you can't get it wrong with her, right?!

RIGHT!!! I've got to say, I wasn't disappointed at all. The second one it's definitely on the same level as the first one. It's charming, lovely, funny. It will win your heart just like the first one did.

Another thing that bothers me a lot on sequels is when they change the characters (or worse, they keep the characters, but change the actors. I don't even watch it when they do that), and I was feeling a little abandoned because it's a different family, different kids, but they managed to tie the knot between the two movies amazingly well. I got so happy when a familiar character 'appeared'. It felt like seeing a beloved friend after a long time apart. I was thrilled!

The kids on this one are just as amazing. Maggie Gyllenhaal it's lovelly as the mom and Emma Thompson, well, Emma Thompson is Nanny Mcphee, do I need to say more? And Maggie Smith, gotta love her character! Ralph Fiennes and Ewan McGregor are just a bonus. =)

Great acting, great photography, great everything!  And on top of that, it's quite inspiring too.

Take a leap of faith and feel it in your bones.

Nanny Mcphee

 

Nanny Mcphee!!! I love this movie!!! It's sweet and funny and touching and clever and amazing!

Nanny Mcphee is about this nanny who has a very unique method to deal with misbehavior. Her next task is to help this widower manage his seven naughty kids. It's a hard task, but she's Nanny Mcphee.

It may seem a children movie, but it's not. It's an all ages movie, kids will love it, so will adults and so will older adults. 

Colin Firth and Emma Thompson, do I really need to say anything else?! They are both incredible on it. Colin brings the perfect desperate/funny/clumsy tone to the dad. Everything on this movie is so well done, it's amusing. You can see they put a lot of thought on every tiny detail. All the bright colours (there's SO MUCH colour in this movie! I love it!) that goes from the walls to the food, the amazing costumes, the beautiful locations. It's all wonderful. And the kids, oh my, it's impossible not to fall in love with them (even with all the bad behavior). Ohhhh and Mrs. Blatherwick (the cook) gotta love her too! You'll even like the bad aunt.

The final credits are lovely (yes, I watch the final credits) and very well made as well.

You'll really love it. Warts and all. ;)

ps: haven't watch the sequel yet, but I'm really excited about it. It seems just as great as this one and Maggie Gyllenhaal is on it! Maggie Gyllenhaal and Emma Thompson together should be pretty amazing.
