Darkly charming August 9, 2008

This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I'm sorry it didn't get wider release, and very pleased to own it. Well, first, I would watch Maggie Smith read the phone book, and then it's got charming English scenery, and oh yeah, Patrick Swayze in a hilarious turn as a lecherous golf pro. Think of it as "Arsenic and Old Lace" meets "Father Ted." Story by Richard Russo, author of "Empire Falls" and other good novels.

" HMMM IS SHE STILL FOR HIRE " ? June 20, 2008

saw this advertised on T.V. and didn't know what to expect but, since I'm a fan of Ms. Smith I decided I'd give it a watch . Well, I found it was to be on 4 more times between then first time and the next few days . Did I watch again and again ? If home , you bettcha .

Rowan Atkins ...pleasantly surprised. I thought all he could do was Mr. Bean . I was wrong.

Kristin Scott Thomas ...great in her part of the negelected wife .

Patrick Swayze ...I was surprised to see him ...he did his job well as the letch .

Ms. Smith ..... always a pleasure .

quite funny and I too recommend it. I won't go into story detail as it's been done and done again on here . so you decide .

Keeping Mum is one of the best movies I've seen in a while and it has everything, murder, comedy, sex, you name it! Maggie Smith is perfectly cast as is Kristin Scott Thomas and let's not forget "Mr. Bean," who is equally as good in this delightful movie. Much better and far more entertaining than the usual shoot 'em up crammed with special effects movies that seem to be engulfing our cinemas. If you just want a fun movie with a story, yes a real story, and some laughs, Keeping Mum is one not to keep mum about!

This is the question raised by the film KEEPING MUM. Amazingly, this is a wonderful, sweet, romantic and funny film. We are treated to Rowan Atkinson in a surprising and sensitive lead performance. He is so much more than Edmund Blackadder, Inspector Raymond Fowler or Mr. Bean here. As much as we may love those other characters, his performance here can make us forget they ever existed. He plays the Reverend Walter Goodbody who is a tad on the dull, passionless side. That is until the arrival of the mysterious and charming Grace who is the families' new housekeeper. Grace hunkers down and works to repair this family who's lost it's way.

Richard Russo and Niall Johnson have crafted a completely captivating script. It's fascinating that a film with so many murders can be so gentle. Maggie Smith is a pure delight as Grace, a woman who has an interesting past, could there be a connection here?

This film is a pure delight and should be seen and talked about
