Mary Poppins Returns Review
Why Fans of the Original Mary Poppins Will Fall in Love With Mary Poppins Returns

Emily Blunt certainly had some big shoes to fill when she took on Julie Andrews's iconic role of Mary Poppins, but I must say she fits into them quite nicely. While she makes the character her own (her Mary Poppins is a bit more sarcastic than the original), she mimics memorable traits about the nanny: the way she flies with her feet facing out, the way she pats the back of her hair while looking in the mirror, and even the dainty way she holds her iconic umbrella. It's clear Blunt did her homework, and it pays off.
