Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010) is a family fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The fathers are off at war, and the magical nanny turns up on the doorstep of a frazzled young mother trying to keep the family farm running on her own.

Emma Thompson returns as the snaggle-toothed Nanny McPhee. Mrs Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is barely managing three kids and a farm when two pampered city cousins move in and the house turns into a battlefield. The nanny sorts it out her own way, with a flying motorcycle, a statue that comes to life, a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant in the bedroom. Five lessons, each with a trick up its sleeve.

This sequel to the 2005 hit was directed by Susanna White from a script by Thompson herself, with Ralph Fiennes, Maggie Smith and Ewan McGregor along for the ride. A film for the whole household where, under all the chaos, sits a plain idea about kindness and standing your ground. Stream Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010) online on iFILM.
