Amazon.co.uk Review
With hairy warts, a stern-looking unibrow and one extremely protruding buck-tooth, Nanny McPhee is a wonderfully comedic substitute for Mary Poppins in this entertaining family fantasy. By loosely adapting Christianna Brand's Nurse Matilda children's books of the 1960s, Oscar-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) has also given herself the plum role of Nanny McPhee, who can tame even the most unruly children with a tap of her magic walking stick. Her latest challenge is the bratty brood of a recent widower Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), who's under pressure to find a new wife or lose his much-needed allowance from wealthy Aunt Adelaide (a tailor-made role for Angela Lansbury). His love for scullery maid Evangeline (Kelly Macdonald) remains unspoken as he wincingly woos the eagerly merry widow Mrs. Quickly (Celia Imrie), but Brown's raucous rugrats have a plan to make things right, especially after they've come under the benevolent influence of Nanny McPhee, whose peculiar brand of discipline works wonders for everyone involved. Both quintessentially British and universally appealing, this wildly colourful comedy (thanks to a bold palette of costume and production design) was capably directed by Kirk Jones, whose appreciation for comic actors was equally apparent in his critically acclaimed 1998 comedy Waking Ned. With just a hint of darkness to offset the whimsy, Nanny McPhee offers a splendid match of director, cast and material, guaranteed to please Wallace & Gromit fans and anyone else with a taste for British zaniness.-- Jeff Shannon

*** A REVIEW FOR THE BLU RAY ***
As I suspected,"Nanny McPhee" is a delight on BLU RAY with a vastly improved picture quality that is quite beautiful at times.
The bonus features are generous too:
1. Casting The Children
2. Village Life
3. Nanny McPhee makeover
4. Deleted Scenes
5. Gag Reel
6. How Nanny McPhee Came To Be
7. Feature commentary by the Director Kirk Jones and Children
Because it's set at 2:35 aspect, when I used the Zoom feature on my Sony, it did stretch the picture a tad, but it still looked great.
Language subtitles include English (Hard Of Hearing), French, Canadian French, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese, Greek, Cantonese and Traditional Mandarin.
And at under a tenner online, it's reasonably priced too.
To sum up - as a replacement for your old DVD - or as a new purchase for the kids and adults alike - this Blu Ray reissue is recommended.
A rather lovely little movie really...

Emma Thompson at her best, this was a 'must have' to add to the collection for visiting grandchildren (and the grandparents on occasion...). Brilliant

a sad version of Mary Poppins, no fun , bad script -- gives the wrong message about beauty-- inner and outer- nanny's warts disappear as the children become good-- what a sorry script

Just to like a to add a few words about this DVD, which was ordered for a friend. The film was worth watching and the service provided was outstanding. Totally trouble free transaction, arriving way before the suggested delivery date.
Thank you.
