nanny mcfee

a new mary poppins of sorts but emma thompson is stranger and weirder than julie andrews and nowhere as sweet. as far as childrens fairy tales go this one is nastier than most, and maybe even darker. even the evil stepmother or the wicked aunt are far more twisted. nothing compared to the perpetual darkness and beauty of ‘pans labyrinth’ but nice enough. at the end though with every lesson the kids learn emma loses her warts and ends up looking like a model for skin products.
