2nd Nanny McPhee Movie

Has anyone taken their kids to see this one? I have heard it's so-so as far as the reviews go but it's playing in Sidney and we take what we can get without going into town. Is it worth it do you think for a 3 year old? Mine liked the trailer and will sit happily with popcorn for movie time (he wanted to go for his birthday). Thanks.

Friends of mine went this evening and said it was better than the first one.
(the kids ages are baby, 5 yr old, 7 and an 8 yr old)
I'll be taking mine to see it.

We went to see it tonight and it was wonderful - can't understand how anyone could find it better than the original though! It really lacked the whimsy of the original -and it lacked Colin Firth! :lol:

Lovely movie, but was no where as good as the first one, in my opinion.

I watched the first one just this past week on TV and really enjoyed it, so was really excited to take my kids tonight........I was not disappointed. It was fabulous - although I don't think better than the first...I enjoyed them both equally.

We went yesterday and it was a nice break from the usual flashy animated movies we go to. My little guy did get bored because there were no big tricks or CGI stuff but I enjoyed it and made him stay til' the end because I'm a sucker for happy endings.
