Eine zauberhafte Nanny - Knall auf Fall in ein neues Abenteuer

Überraschenderweise ist die Unkenntnis des vorangegangenen Films mit Nanny McPhee kein besonderer Hemmschuh oder eine Redundanz in der Zusammenarbeit des Publikums bei der Bildung aktiver Hypothesen über die wahre Natur. Und Maggie Gyllenhaal! Und die Pseudo-Kriegsstilisierung! (28.01.2012)

It's a terrible shame that it basically repeats what was presented in the first film. The story is actually the same; it's just a slightly different family, but that doesn't make it a second part of the film, just a copy. It's all the more sad because there are some interesting actors here. Unfortunately, even in this case, the fact remains that a repeated joke isn't really a joke. (06.11.2016)

I’ve seen Nanny McPhee before, so at first, I thought this was just the original film I had already watched and enjoyed. But it didn’t take long to realize this was something a bit different, and after watching, I understand why the ratings are what they are. The first movie worked well for both kids and adults, with a story that wasn’t dumbed down. This sequel, though, is definitely more for kids, with a lot of scenes that had me wondering what the writers were thinking—like the one with the pigs, which is just one example of many. Still, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it. It was a fun, lighthearted watch, with a cast that didn’t so much act as they did just mess around and have a good time. (23.07.2012)
