...Emma Thompson has adapted a little-known children’s book and, with the help of Waking Ned director Kirk Jones, delivers a wickedly fun family adventure.

Will kids like the movie? I suspect they will. Kids like to see other kids learning the rules even if they don't much want to learn them themselves.

Based on Christianna Brand's beloved Nurse Matilda books, and adapted capably by Emma Thompson, who plays the lead, the film positions itself nicely as the anti-Mary Poppins.
