 Good day, ladies and gentlemen. PLEASE, spare me 5 minutes of your precious time, to allow me to share a movie review - Nanny Mcphee. Thank you very much for your kind attention. Let's beginning, shall we?
Polite, too formal, with some British flair and humour.
well, in the nutshell, that's what the movie- Nanny Mcphee brings to audience.
since a great friend of mine invited me on a movie date, on a ever-so-boring day during vacation time, it was about time to catch a movie at last. in order to preserve my youth, the choice was made, to watch a Children's movie, rather than teen/adult/horror/.... movies available.
it proves even more awkward in the theatre, as i realised that minus the lady who brought her kids to the movies, i was probably the oldest teen / youngest adult around. Awkward indeed. trailers shown were all for up-coming animation feature films, all 5 of them... am i at the wrong theatre???
anyway, the movie turned out surprisingly enjoyable from the start to the end. a classic fairy-tale to say the least. characters were nicely protrayed, such as Emma Thompson as Nanny McPhee, Colin Firth as Mr Brown and Kelly MacDonald as Evangeline. The magical touches from Nanny Mcphee deserved praise, while the comic timing at times were on-the-spot-on. Special mentions includes Nanny Mcphee's sudden appearance, followed by the trademark : "i did knocked...", the "eating the baby (i think her name is Christianna) incident that scared away Nanny Whetstone".
standard fairy-tale ending like the marriage is artistically done, making the female audience within the theatre all suddenly dreaming about their own wedding (yes, i have ears, i've heard the comments). Commendable performances by the child actors in the moviem includes Thomas Sangster as Simon, the eldest son of the Mr Brown, the leader of the 7 children, a clever / witty / little prankster.
anyway, catch the movie if you can, well, you should...
and before i go, this point isn't necessary, but i've to say it anyway... actress Celia Imrie protrayal as Mrs Quickly looks very much as a old prostitute...i've said it...old prostitute.
Good day.
