An average movie

Even though I didn't like the 1rst installment, since I have a really weak spot for Emma Thompson, I still wanted to check this sequel. Eventually, I thoughth it was neither worse or better than its predecessor. Indeed, there was a nice cast involved (Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Asa Butterfield, Maggie Smith, Rhys Ifans, Ralph Fiennes and Ewan McGregor) but, once again, the story was just so boring... Basically, in my opinion, Nanny McPhee was just a rather uninspired and ugly version of Mary Poppins, not much more than that. To be honest, I think it is quite a shame that Emma Thompson who has won before the Academy Award for the best screenplay, was now working on such material. Furthermore, she is a fine actress and it's a pity that this movie was one of the few opportunities that you have to see her playing the lead. I have to admit that I wasn’t the targeted audience and there is a good chance that young children might end up enjoying it but what a borefest... Anyway, to conclude, I didn't like the damned thing, I thought it was a tedious family feature and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you have some (very) young children to entertain.
