"Keeping Mum" is tells a story of the family Goodfellow. The father (Rowan Atkinson) is a wicker and he has a wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) and two children. Gloria Goodfellow (Scott Thomas) is bored with her love life and considers to runaway with her dashing golf instructor (delightfully sleazy Patrick Swayze). Then suddenly the family's life changes because of the new housekeeper (still vibrant Maggie Smith). There is a buried secret underneath.
I am not sure if it was the intention of the movie makers to reveal a lot in the film title. There isn't any much surprising turns in the whole film. It is definitely entertaining but the plot is quite ordinary and the movie just goes like straight to the end.
I have to give a huge plus to the black humor in the film. The film has its moments but unfortunately that isn't enough to save the picture. Another plus for the fact that Rowan Artkinson has moved on from his Mr.Bean days to different kind of roles that are not so overshooting, even though Mr.Bean is always Mr.Bean.
The movie is like "Serial Mom" meets "Dirty Dancing". Patrick Swayze's role of Lance is a bit self-ironic. That is a great thing that you can laugh to yourself! The ending raises my grade a bit :D Daughter like the mother...
