I must admit that I had much higher expectations of 'Nanny McPhee' than it actually delivered. Although it's an entertaining, funny and, at times, touching movie, I felt that there was a certain something it lacked and that something was actually Nanny McPhee. Considering she's the main character, I was surprised that, by the end, the storyline of her character had all but fizzled out. The movie started great, with eye-catching sets and quick humour (and even some 'bums' to keep the kids happy), but I can only rate it with a 6 out of 10, as I was fairly disappointed at the lack of focus on Nanny McPhee's 'rules' - which seemed to be the most important part of the movie at the beginning - and couldn't help but feel that she'd been forgotten.
All the same, I loved the ending, and the way that everything turns out; this movie definitely has something for everyone and, despite a certain amount of silliness, it's worth watching, especially to keep children entertained on a rainy day (but anyone who actually cares about a movie's plot and characters should probably be warned).
