Editorial Review:
KEEPING MUM stars Rowan Atkinson as an absent-minded vicar of a rural parish who is so distracted by the pressures of his job that he fails to notice his wife’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) dalliance with her brash golf instructor (Patrick Swayze), his daughter’s parade of new boyfriends, and his young son’s regular trouncing by the school’s bullies. Enter their charming new housekeeper, Grace (Maggie Smith), the answer to the family’s prayers: a sweet old lady with her own distinctive definition of cleaning house – and a very unusual way of solving problems.
Keeping Mum Reviews:
Keeping Mum DVD 
2009-10-20 - This is a comedy, but it is a dark one. I ordered it after seeing it on TV. Maggie Smith and Rowan Atkinson are hilarious. It sort of reminded me of "Arsenic and Old Lace." It's funny, but with an edge. All the characters are interesting and likable. Highly recommended.
Awesome!
2009-09-20 - This was am amazing and hilarious movie! The cast was great, yet the script was even better! I would recomend it for anyone who likes british comedy, or comedy in general. However the topic was of mildly grotesque nature, so sharing it with the youngins probably isnt the bast idea

2009-08-08 - I loved this movie..........dark humor at its' best. I predict it will become one of your favorites.
White Tea. One Sugar 
2009-07-28 - Here's a delightful, not dark, but twilit British comedy that reminded me with its frequent cuppa tea references to Peter Cook and Dud in drag; two working class mums rueing the international travails of the world with placating cups of tea. The infantile fantasy of resolving troubling characters by killing them is carried off by the goggle-eyed Maggie Smith. Rowan Atkinson is the subdued and uninspired vicar, rendered all the more potently comic by limited opportunities for 'Beanerismic' behaviour; once with gangling limbs akimbo as goalie in a local soccer match. Again, with a brain fade in the 'pulpit' at a theological convention. Patrick Swayze is the randy sleeze setting upon the vicar's wife and daughter. But the film is as much Kristin Scott thomas's as the vicar's disappointed wife.
