Keeping Mum
UK 2005, 103 minutes
Dir. Niall Johnson
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy / Black Comedy
Aroview: In the best English tradition of addled and yet deadly black comedy, this unravels the goings-on in a cute village, where the vicar (Atkinson) is oblivious to his wife's (Scott Thomas) sexual boredom and other family problems; enter a twinkly-eyed housekeeper (Smith) who decides to 'help out' a bit.
Turns out the housekeeper has some rather dodgy proclivities and soon a trail of dead bodies materialises among the puzzled residents. With all the cast in top form (including Patrick Swayze as a sleazy American golf pro), this manages to fulfil the promise of the material right up to its curiously heartwarming conclusion.

4 stars (Very Good) Great relationship between Rowan Atkinson and Maggie Smith, all in the classic understated British style of humour.rnDefinitely one to watch yet again on a wet weekend.rnVery well presented, solid.rnNo flashy gimmicks required, just crafted talent! ~Xenas Dad
4 stars (Very Good) The very capable and perhaps underrated Kristin Scott Thomas anchors this well written comedy and is at ease working alongside an acting dame and a very successful comedian. ~Tubbs
