Keeping Mum, a flick from across the pond.

Based in Britain, Keeping Mum, is an ominous, yet enchanting flick, with a lot of surprises & a few familiar faces like Rowan Atkinson (the hilarious Mr. Bean) & Dirty Dancing's Patrick Swayze as a trolling golf instructor. Yet the show stopping performance is left to none other than, Dame Maggie Smith, playing the mysterious nanny. GO SEE, if you want to laugh. You should have a liking for that clever Brit humor to fully appreciate. It begins with a pregnant young lady on holiday traveling by locomotive, during her travels it is discovered she has murdering her hubby & his mistress. The story follows her journey, after her release 4 decades later, when she takes on the role of nanny. She is sweet, charming and protective, doing everything in her power to make the household pleasant & perfect. While the nanny's heart is in a good place, her methods are misguided. Keeping Mum, is a smart, witty flick, be prepared to laugh out loud, and feel free to bring a spot of tea. (103 minutes, R)
