Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang

Emma Thompson had her role in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so that she could focus on Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, the sequel to the 2005 family hit Nanny McPhee which she starred in and wrote. The new film has an all-star cast just as the first, is fantastically British, is charming and witty and appeals to all ages. It also fits into the rare group of films in which the sequel is better than the original. Yeah, it's quite good.

This time around, Nanny McPhee is called upon by Mrs Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal) to help her with her 2 children and another 2 she's looking after for her brother (a high ranking war official played by Ralph Fiennes) while her husband (Ewan McGregor) is away at war. The story follows a similar pattern as the first with Thompson's character teaching the kids vital life lessons, encountering a potentially terrible situation (evil uncle Rhys Ifans wants to sell their farm, oh no!) and then bobbing along towards the inevitably happy ending. It's kept interesting and entertaining though by the constant flurry of gags for the adults and good use of slapstick for the kids.

The humour works because the cast are so good. Thompson's delivery is perfect and there's also a fantastically funny cameo appearance from Bill Bailey. Emma Thompson also wrote the script for this film and so she should really take 95% of the credit for the entertainment. The rest of the cast do a great job too though, with Ralph Fiennes standing out as he always does and the kids are also to be commended even though they aren't quite as good as those from the first film. Although, like in 2006's Stormbreaker, having Ewan McGregor in there seems just like an excuse to have a big name on the poster because he really adds nothing to the film.

Director Susanna White should get a healthy dose of kudos too. The film looks brilliant with it's bright colours and old fashioned British feel. Filmed in modest locations such as Oxfordshire and Surrey, the film shows that you don't need all the green screen in the world to have a damn good looking film.

I could praise the director and the cast all day, but the real star of the show is of course Emma Thompson. She's not only brilliant as the titular character, the script she's written is also fantastically funny and entertaining. Big respect to her for turning down the big budget Harry Potter to put her heart and soul into this modes family British film - it shows she put a lot into this film and as a result it's the best family film I've seen this year so far.
