I would have loved for these characters to have a different plot to stretch out in. However, this story is obvious, pedestrian, warm and pleasant, but mostly a tragic waste of some tremendous resources.

It has all the edge, darkness and wit one expects from the storied genre of British dark comedy.

Director Niall Johnson, who collaborated on the script withRichard Russo deserves kudos for maintaining the tenor and tone of the film. A black comedy such as KEEPING MUM requires a very specific touch and Johnson handles the material with aplomb.

The British countryside provides a pretty framework, unfortunately the picture inside doesn't fit the bill.

Disappointing British black comedy.

...the film gets by -- just barely -- on the powerhouse combination of Atkinson, Thomas and Smith...

The warped fun is enhanced by two performances — one that is expected and one that's a delightful surprise.

...Features a great cast and a witty script that should help it appeal to even those who aren't as enamored of British films as I am.

I'll match Grace's way with a meat cleaver and a shovel against Mary's spoonful of sugar every time.

There's something immoral about a film that asks us to chuckle at the naughty murders of innocent people and then expects our hearts to swell when a husband and wife affirm their holy union. 'Saw III' has more integrity.
