Most people I know think this film is bloody awful! For me, as cliche as it may sounds, it is a hidden gem of British cinema. Simple, quirky, heart-warming and smiling-to-yourself funny. I'm surprised certain cast members were involved. Kristin Scott Thomas, in recent years, has been concentrating more on French language films ... Read the complete review

When I first watched Keeping mum I was not all too happy about it, it looked like another boring English film, with no substance and with very lame comedy. However this film was one of the best British films I had seen in a long time, it was funny, delightful to watch and a nice film for all of my family. ======== The ... Read the complete review

I was really expecting this to be tacky and probably pretty bad. I was wrong The entire family are chronically funny, despite their angst and issues. Normal people taken to an extreme. Maggie Smith as the housekeeper is an absolute gem, keeping demurely straight face whilst behaving outrageously - a bit of a shock!!! ... Read the complete review

A bored Housewife who embarks on an affair to spice up her life. Her Husband fantastically played by Rowen Atkinson is more concerned with Writing the perfect sermon than concentrating on his ...

What better way to celebrate yet another inclement summer in these supposed global warming years than a good old fashioned British farce! The first thing that invites a raised eyebrow here is the impressive cast, and considering the understated nature of this piece that is very TV and Miss Marple, the appearance of extremely talented ...
