Excellent British Humor
Added 2/1/2010
If you've seen "Death at a Funeral" you'll love this one too. A maid comes to live with a Pastor and his family...things start disappearing...dogs...people... :) Very funny!

Yes, let's Keep Mum

If murder can be considered funny, this is the movie that will show that. "Keeping Mum" is the humerous story of a Vicar and his family whose lives are not quite what they should be. A murderess enters their household and begins to set thing right in her own way.
The film features outstanding performances by an A+ cast along with a tongue-in-cheek, surprise ending. This DVD would make a fine addition for a mystery-lover's film collection.
Great watching on a cloudy day while curled up with a big bowl of buttery pop corn! Dont miss it!

Macabre Mary Poppins

Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), the vicar of a small village in England is too preoccupied and befuddled with his job to pay any attention to his wife (Kristin Scott Thomas), so she has an affair with her golf teacher (Patrick Swayze) while his kids are lost and in trouble. Then a new housekeeper (Maggie Smith) enters their lives and all their problems seem to disappear.
I didn't know what to expect from this movie and was puzzled in the beginning but ended up liking it. It's a dark comedy that's exceedingly dry and subtle, more sinister than comedic, and very British in tone. The cast, led by the marvelous Maggie Smith, is superb and they hold your interest even when the story is at times odd and confusing. The location photography is gorgeous. This is definitely not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but is ultimately sweet and clever. 3.5 stars.

Keeping Mum DVD
Added 10/20/2009
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.

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
