"Keeping Mum" -- what fun!
I went to see the movie "Keeping Mum" on Saturday, and can HIGHLY recommend it.
It stars Maggie Smith as a "sweet little old vicarage housekeeper" and Rowan Atkinson as a too-serious and rather over-stressed vicar, who seems to run a half-day behind on what's going on with his family. Oh, and Patrick Swayze as the sleaziest-of-the-sleazy American golf pro who's hitting on the vicar's wife.
See this film, if only to see Rowan Atkinson turning in a very sympathetic, yet funny-as-heck, UNDERSTATED performance as the rather vague vicar who has something of an epiphany while working on and delivering a speech on "God's Mysterious Ways".
It's sort of like "Serial Mom" with a British sense of humor and strong vicarage family values.
I haven't had that kind of fun at a movie in far too long.

Ooh, I've been meaning to catch it when it finally gets to our neck of the woods.

Rowan Atkinson also turned in an understated performance in Love Actually.
