Nanny McPhee

Nanny McPhee (2005) is a family fantasy starring Emma Thompson that you can watch online on iFILM. Widowed Mr. Brown is raising seven children alone, and they have already driven off seventeen nannies in a row. Then a warty, snaggle-toothed, utterly unflappable Nanny McPhee shows up at the door.

She carries a magic cane and teaches five lessons the little troublemakers — led by Simon — would rather not learn. The worse they behave, the stranger the results. Meanwhile a threat hangs over the house: stern Great-Aunt Adelaide will take one of the children away unless their father marries again within the month. Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay herself, adapting Christianna Brand's books, and Colin Firth plays the flustered dad.

The more the kids mind her, the prettier she gets — the warts vanish one by one. Angela Lansbury, Celia Imrie and Imelda Staunton round out the cast. A warm fairy tale built for a night in with the whole family. Stream Nanny McPhee (2005) online on iFILM.
