Nanny McPhee	comment	Cedric Brown (Colin Firth) is a hard-working widower who can't spend much time with his seven children, so he leaves them in the care of nannies. However, the children are very naughty and have managed, with pride, to scare the past seventeen nannies away. Running out of options, Mr. Brown listens to a mysterious voice's advice to call for a "Nanny McPhee". Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson) turns out to be a hag-like woman with a crooked cane and a habit of appearing out of nowhere (though she does mention she did knock). But there's a secret to her care-taking — she has magic powers, which she uses to teach the children some important lessons.Naughty children aren't the only problems Mr. Brown has to face. The truth is his late wife's aunt, Lady Adelaide Stitch, is supporting the family through a regular allowance, and she decides that unless Mr. Brown remarries by the end of the month, she will cut off those funds, meaning he will lose his house and his children. It's up to Nanny McPhee to help save a family on the brink of ruin.The 2005 movie did well in theaters, and a sequel, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (called Nanny McPhee Returns in the United States for undisclosed reasons), premiered in 2010.

Judging by the expressions Simon makes when he takes it, it tastes terrible, and the children are not able to spit it out, and they will have to swallow it sooner or later. Eric believes that it is made of toads.

Nanny McPhee / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The film's climax involving aftermath of the Brown kids' sabotage of their father's attempt to make a good impression with Selma Quickly, comes back to haunt them as the marriage was actually going to save their house and family from having to be forced into labor. This is meant to showcase how the kids' naughty actions have consequences and they would have to behave... and yet near the end of the film, apparently it's okay for the Browns to cause mischief sabotage Quickly and Brown's wedding, and make a mess with Great-Aunt Adelaide present, despite the fact that it only pushed Quickly away further, and further damaged their chances at saving their home. This is meant to be portrayed as a funny and cathartic moment, but it makes it look like the Brown kids learned absolutely nothing, and it's basically okay to prevent a marriage to someone you possibly dislike, because he'll be able to marry anyway with someone more loving and caring. Somewhat justified since Nanny McPhee herself is not above a little mischief when done for a truly good cause (see Not So Above It All below).

Once they learn from Cedric what they've really done, they return to Mrs. Quickly to apologize so she'll come back and marry their father. In fairness to them, however, she really is as horrible as they first believed.

As a Stitch, she never breaks her promises, something that comes into play at the climax of the film. Additionally she seems to treat her servants well, addressing Nanny Mc Phee as "staff" rather respectfully - despite conversely having no problem ordering Cedric to shut up several times.

Nanny McPhee / int_58b42f3d	comment	Trickster Mentor: Nanny McPhee always has five lessons to teach. What exactly those lessons turn out to be, and even anything else the people she helps may learn, is another matter. While she typically goes to households with troublesome children and helps them become better, she knows when going hands-off and letting the children act on their desires can be instructive in its own right. For example, she allows Simon and his siblings to drive Mrs. Quickly away with their pranks so that they would learn the consequences (and that the aftermath results in opened communication about why Cedric is marrying again is another welcome result). While she is a nanny to the children, it's implied that not all the lessons are for them. In the first movie, it's implied that Lesson 4 was more for Cedric than the children, and the final lesson in the second movie is implied to be for everyone in the household (even the uncle).

When they cause chaos, Nanny McPhee makes it impossible for them to stop, to the point of risking serious damage, until they verbally and politely express the desire to stop and apologize. When they pretend to be sick to stay in bed all day, Nanny McPhee will make them sick for real and magically bind them to their beds, requiring disgusting medicine and soup to heal, making their sick day no picnic. These methods soon earn the respect and obedience of the children.

Nanny McPhee / int_7f38c0cd	comment	In the first movie, Lady Adelaide gives Cedric an offer he can't refuse: she will take in one of his daughters (and only daughters) to live with her. She is especially keen on taking the youngest, Chrissie, while Nanny McPhee reminds the children that they can't send away the donkey they hoped to trick their great aunt into taking. It takes some quick thinking from Simon, but ultimately Evangeline is sent away, having been passed off as a daughter of Cedric's, despite actually being their scullery maid. This later happens again with similar circumstances: Cedric marries Evangeline when he realizes he cannot marry Mrs. Quickly, his seeming only option.

Nanny McPhee / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Brown children, who have been consistently ruining Cedric Brown's attempts at courting and marrying other women after the death of their mother, believing that any stepmother would be an evil stepmother. This comes to a head when they ruin his chance at marrying Selma Quickly, they believed they had finally stopped their father from attempting to get them an evil stepmother. Cedric, having tried to shield his kids from the reality of his financial situation (which requires him to be married by the end of the month, which was just days away, or he loses Aunt Adelaide's financial support), walks in completely destroyed and informs the kids of what they had just done, leading them to realize how wrong they were to do so.

Nanny McPhee / int_96b89043	comment	Not So Above It All: Nanny McPhee tells the children to "do exactly as they are told", implicitly allowing the children to partake in some mischief when Aunt Adelaide arrives, and later allows a little mischief to take place during the wedding under the same directive, winking at Simon to get him to encourage the children to start a bee scare at the wedding, and contributing a little magic to help out. Like Nanny McPhee in the above example, Cedric was tired of his children causing trouble with their pranks. However, he proved himself to be okay with their mischief during the wedding and acted as though there were bees buzzing around Mrs. Quickly's hat. During the chaos at his wedding to Mrs. Quickly, Cedric grabs a violin, and tells Simon "bowling practice", hitting Evangeline with some cake. Evangeline, as the prim and proper, adopted Evangeline Stitch, who gleefully partakes in the food fight at the wedding after being hit by cake. While Nanny McPhee does not condone the children's mischief throughout the film, she herself has a mischievous side — all of the spells she uses to help the family involve a bit of trickery, such as enchanting the donkey to make Aunt Adelaide think it was a girl. The difference is, she knows when to be serious and not to punish those who don't deserve it.
