A worthy successor to the first film, "Nanny McPhee Returns" brings our heroine (the AMAZING Emma Thompson), in all her frizzy-haired, buck-toothed glory forward in time into the Second World War. It is funny and sweet. In fact, both my mother and I cried more than once. My children loved the magic and it kept the interest of both including the three year old. For my full review, go here.
For Theatrical Releases:
Step Out -- worth the effort and the cost to take the kids out
Stay In -- not worth the cost and effort, possibly worth a DVD viewing
For DVD:
I will give one of the four ratings --
Stay Up -- worth watching even if you don't have kiddos or if they are too young
Settle In -- enjoyable for everyone, settle in with the popcorn and the kids
Press Play -- okay for the kids, adults might want to find other entertainment
Skip It -- not worth the time or cost, even for the DVD
The Red Carpet Poles range from:
1/2 to 5 .
i'd let my kid see that
I'm a mom of two who loves films. As a family, we see hundreds of movies at the theater and DVDs.
Movie time is very special for us. And because of that, I love when a kid's movie is enjoyable to the adults in the room ("Up", anyone?). And because of that I hate when age-inappropriate content pops up (I'm looking at you, "Shrek"!).
So I'm creating a forum to discuss films and DVDs that I love, hate, and everything in-between. I'll give you my best go at the quality of the film, as well as warn you of any unpleasant surprises.
Let me know what you think. If you see a film and you have an opinion, share it. If there's a film, you want me to preview, let me know.
