Plot Summary:
|
Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), the entirely meaning vicar of the parish of Little Wallop, is so obsessed with writing the perfect remonstrance that he is oblivious to his chain Gloria????s (Kristin Scott Thomas) dalliance with her presumptuous golf instructor Puncture (Patrick Swayze); neither does he notice that his daughter Holly has a different boyfriend every week, and his young son Petey is the whipping slave for the form bullies.
Gloria feels her life is spiralling out of control. She is sick of the incessant barking of the dog next door, her loveless hook-up and her adolescent kid... s???? escapades ???? she prays every night owing salvation. Enter Set off (Maggie Smith), the riposte to the derivation????s prayers: a sweet ashen haired old lady, the charming and wary unique housekeeper, who has her own unique sense of keeping congress ???? and a very much out of the ordinary crumble of solving problems...

Definately recommend it
'Keeping Mum' is one of those films you would never think of putting on the top of your rental list and that is why so many people will miss out. When I watched this film I wasn't expecting much but I was greatly entertained! Atkinson puts in a fantastic performance, it is almost as if the part was written for him and Swayze adds irristable charm to the film! With not much swearing or horrendous violence this is a nice easy going film to watch and chill out to. I would definately recommend it, my girlfriend gave it the thumbs up just for Swayze in the thong!
Loved this
A well directed black comedy with murderous undertones.
Rowan Atkinson the well meaning vicar seems oblivious to the goings on in his household and the fact that his wife has to look elsewhere for attention.
Enter the housekeeper who fixes everything in her own unique way. Although rather predictable I wasn’t prepared for the ending.
Good from start to finish.
