Keeping Mum
In a story that looks exciting and exciting about a man working as a deputy in Little Wallb's British village named Walter Goodfellow and writing the perfect sermon. Walter is so busy writing his perfect sermons that he fails to notice his wife courting a US golf coach, his daughter with many friends and his son as a favorite of intimidation. But everything will change later when Grace Hawkins, the new housekeeper, has a radical solution to the family's long-standing problems.

Rowan Atkinson ("Mr. Bean") plays straight-man Reverend Walter Goodfellow to Grace Hawkins (acted with keen wit by Maggie Smith) his genteel serial-killer housekeeper in this delicious British black comedy.

The problem with Keeping Mum is that the slaughter is very real and, worse, the victims are often innocent or otherwise undeserving of their fate.

It's probably one of the funniest films to come out of England in years.

It has all the edge, darkness and wit one expects from the storied genre of British dark comedy.

Don't expect Rowan Atkinson in full Bean or Blackadder flight: this is much more delicate Country Life comeuppance at the hands of a deliciously dark fairy godmother.

I would have loved for these characters to have a different plot to stretch out in. However, this story is obvious, pedestrian, warm and pleasant, but mostly a tragic waste of some tremendous resources.

A meek little diversion, nothing more.
August 07, 2007
An insufferable British dark comedy in the tradition of other happy-horseshit classics
October 05, 2006
Cheerfully black-hearted and unfailingly amusing.
October 13, 2006
A modest comedy that wants to be both dark and reassuring at the same time.
October 26, 2006
A dark comedy that isn't dark or particularly funny, Keeping Mum ends up being an exercise in heavy-handed whimsy.

Bracket out the ethical concerns of making merry as the body count mysteriously rises and Keeping Mum is an endearing hoot.
