Keeping Mum

"A happy family is but an earlier heaven"

~John Bowring

I love this title. When we grow up, we have our own perspective on issues which may differ from our parents. Sometimes, we grow apart. The hardest thing is to keep a family relationship strong and united.

I just went to the cinema to watch "Keeping Mum". I thought it would be an hilarous movie because it was starred by Rown Atkinson a.k.a Mr Bean. Instead, it was one that revovled around family relationship. Well, I admitted there were some parts where we (the audience) shared a good laugh. Nevertheless, this movie - Keeping Mum is worth to take a look.

Highly entertaining, good black comedy.What seems like a perfect setting in middle england, with Rowan Atkinson who plays the local vicar.But all is not perfect in the family, with his wife yearning for more fun in life & his daughter getting too much fun & his son being bullied at school.The vicar has lost his sense of humour over the years.Things all change with the arrival of the new housekeeper, played by Maggie Smith.A surprising role for Patrick Swayze as the local gold pro but played well.Good fun film.

The most remarkable is Maggie Smith. She did well as a psychopath. One who was known as the "Trunk Killer" in the movie. Well, she was a murderer but I disagree that she was wrong. Her first time murdering was her husband and his mistress. She was almost 7months pregnant by then. Imagine the anger and the grief that she felt when she found out the affair!!! I might did that too if I were her. When she went to the GoodFellow's family, she killed more people. But, she did that out of love.

Before she came, the family was in a total mess. The husband was a very dull man. The wife yearn for excitement. The daugher was a sex maniac. The son was always being bullied. But, she settled all these problems.

Maggie Smith was a great actress and so do Rowan Atkinson. Thumbs up!
