I liked this film although I'm not sure it knows what it wants to be. It's both predictable and unpredictable and more dark than it is funny. Maybe I was lead astray by the poster and the choice of actors. It was refreshing in its unpredictable moments but I felt there was very l...( read more)
British black comedy. Funny seeing Rowan Atkinson in a non-Mr. Bean character. I watched this film a second time and quite enjoyed it. I don't know if I caught the very last scene under the duck pond the first time I saw it.

What a GREAT British comedy.I did NOT expect this movie to be as good as it was
I decided to see it cause was a dark humor with ?Mr. Bean? and Kristin. In this case the British humor wasn't so funny for me.
But Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Maggie Smith make you to see it till the end!
It was good to see Maggie Smith in a movie and it was a slightly different role for Rowan Atkinson, but in the end, I didn't see anything special about this movie.
Maggie Smith started as Peter Pan and has now ended up a delightfully evil Mary Poppins! Great cast, very funny story...twist ending. Some people just need killin'.
No heavy lifting here (except for a few stiff bodies), but Keeping Mum has a macabre merriment about it. full review
