Emma Thompson plays the title character once again; Looking For A Nanny “Small c, big P” McPhee is a rather grotesque-looking governess who’s been straightening out bratty Brits for decades. On her side is the fact that she has magical powers and doesn’t age. Nothing can faze her. The same can’t be said for Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal). She’s trying to raise her three energetic children while her husband (Ewan McGregor) is off fighting World War II. Once her spoiled-rotten niece and nephew are sent to stay at her farm after London is deemed too unsafe, another war is set to break out. In other words, the kids are NOT all right — they hate each other, and Isabel is about to tear her hair out.
