Or maybe it’s even better.It’s self-contained, with no special wizarding vocabulary, no Gothic faux lachrymology, cats adopted by the Christian right or other back story for the uninitiated to catch up to. Yet in spite of that – or maybe because of it – “Nanny McPhee” holds up just as well.

Brown (Colin Firth) is a widower who must tend to his business as an undertaker while looking after his brood of seven children.
