Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas
It's a black comedy about a meek country vicar who is unaware that his wife is having an affair, or that the family's new nanny is not what she seems. It is probably one of the funniest comedy films to come out of England in years.
It stars British comic Atkinson (Bean) 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 (Thomas, Gosford Park) dalliance with her brash golf instructor (Swayze, Ghost), 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 (Dame Maggie Smith, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), the answer to the family's prayers: a sweet, grey-haired old lady with her own distinctive definition of cleaning house. One by one, the family members find that Grace is able to solve their problems, but they don't realize that her means are leading to a lot of ends and the population of their sleepy hamlet is rapidly diminishing.
So, don't forget to watch Keeping Mum on Friday, 9.00 p.m on Star Movies.
