Academy Award winner Emma Thompson stars in Nanny McPhee, based on her screenplay adaptation of the Nurse Matilda books. The story begins as the seven Brown children, who may the naughtiest in the history of the world, scare away their 17th nanny. Their beleaguered father, Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), has his hands full with the children, a job at the funeral parlor, an imperious Aunt (played by the legendary Angela Lansbury) who supports him, and money problems that threaten to send him to debtor's prison and his children to foster homes. Enter Nanny McPhee (Thompson) a stern and comically ugly little woman who begins making changes with one bang of her magic stick. The children vow to make her the 18th nanny to be driven off. But Nanny McPhee is different, as the Brown family and those around them are about to find out.
