Keeping Mum (2005)
Kristin Scott Thomas, Rowan Atkinson and Maggie Smith star in this British black comedy. A new housekeeper turns up to solve the problems of a vicars family in a small English village, she has some unusual methods that mostly involve murder.
While black comedies are not always known for being laugh a minute stuff the comedy in this film is at best sparing. Rowan Atkinson is one of best physical comedians this country has produced and he is woeful underused here. Despite being a fairly weak comedy and plot this is not a bad film but does suffer from doing nothing remarkably.
3/5 a bit of a let down given the cast involved.
