Nanny McPhee (U)

Feb 13 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

LAST autumn's half term holiday was the best ever in cinemas - and it's Nanny McPhee to the rescue again.

Emma Thompson makes a remarkable comeback as the nanny who uses magical powers on the seven children in her care - one stomp of her magical walking stick is all it takes!

Directed by Kirk Jones, this wonderfully colourful movie is sensational for the first half hour, with only a change in the script's direction weakening the whole premise later.

DVD extras include seven deleted scenes.
