Cedric Brown 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 turns out to be a hag-like woman with a crooked cane and a habit of appearing out of nowhere. But there's a secret to her care-taking -- she has [[Magical Nanny|magic powers]], which she uses to teach the children some important lessons.

 

The 2005 movie did well in theaters, and a sequel, ''Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang'' (called ''Nanny McPhee Returns'' in the United States), premiered in 2010. [[Maggie Gyllenhaal]] plays a beleaguered housewife juggling a farm and three children, while awaiting her husband's return from [[World War II|The War]]. With the added pressure of her brother-in-law wanting her to sell off the farm (to pay off his own gambling debts), and two upper-class cousins staying over, Nanny McPhee is needed once again. The trailer can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVOzEmywwMM here].

* [[Badass]]: Nanny McPhee, to a point. This is a woman who rides in flying motorcycles, maintains order with a magic stick, and receives full attention and salutes from trained army soldiers.
