Keeping Mum
Rating:5
Saw this film on T.V. and just had to get it to watch it again. Really good British humour, all the actors were great, will watch it again and again!

Great comedy in the English style
Rating:5
Very enjoyable film, have sent it to friends abroad who adore our English sense of humour.

British black humour at its best
Rating:4
I refer you to the excellent review by James-Arundel.

Understated acting by Maggie Smith, Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott-Thomas. Very amusing throughout but an improbable ending.

Two thumbs up for this one !

If you have become jaded with Hollywood, if Tom , Harrison and Nicole have lost their appeal, slide this one into your DVD player and give yourself a treat. This is a gem of a comedy - and a black one at that - which will make you feel much better! With a great cast, Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas and Patrick Swayze for starters, and the wonderful Maggie Smith to follow, it just has to be a smiler and it doesn't fail to deliver. The film is set in an archetypal, sparsely populated English village where Atkinson is the vicar whose burning ambition is to deliver the perfect sermon. Scott Thomas is his sexually starved wife itching for an affair with the local golf pro played by Swayze. The dysfunctional family also has a schoolboy son who can't seem to avoid his bullying chums and a teenage daughter who is fast becoming a sex adict. Enter Maggie Smith who is hired as a housekeeper and quickly vows to improve the situation - including putting to rights a particularly annoying neighbourhood dog. This is a marvellously observed film with not a gratuitous moment in it. It all leads to a surprise conclusion. Just enjoy! Two thumbs up for this one !
