In this British drama, yet comedy, movie of 'Keeping Mum' is a slightly good movie. The story was about an old nanny named Grace. Even though she looked like a nice lady, but she's actually a psychopath who kills.
Few years ago when she's at ther mid 20s, she was caught by the policemen when they discover two bodies in a train that she is boarding on. It reveals that she kills her husband when he is attempting to dump her and run away with another woman who also got killed as well. So she has been sentenced to an asylum for years.
In the present day, the 60-year-old Grace meets a family consist of a vicar (Rowan Atkinson), a wife, a teenage daughter, and a younger son. The family is torn apart. The vicar is so busy with his works especially for his upcoming sermon, the daughter dates a lot of different guys, the son gets bullied in school almost every day, and the wife has an affair with her golf trainer (Patrick Swayze).
Grace decides to help the family to be a perfect family, but in her 'own way to make things right.' First, she sabotages the bullies' bikes that injured them, killing a dog that usually annoys the wife since it kept barking every day, and even kill the golf trainer and other people who witness her activity including the neighbors. Even though Grace looked like one of those serial killers, but she is just trying to help the family to be together.
This is rather a freaky movie, but funny at the same time with famous comedians Rowan Atkinson plays the role as the vicar and Patrick Swayze as the wife's golf trainer. Besides Rowan and Patrick, there are a lot of jokes and references that will make you laugh out loud until you drop. Sometimes, the movie can make your skin crawls especially when Grace kills some of the characters in the movie.
This is a good movie, so I give the score 7 out of 10 for having the famous 'Mr. Bean' Rowan Atkinson, funny jokes, slightly good acting, and the thrill.

Well the first thing I noticed about this essay is the sentence structure. In the opening sentence of this review, he writes "In this British, yet comedy".. Im just thinking, so it is British movie, but the use of word "yet" isn't really appropriate in this sentence because comedy and British do not correlate with each other.
ReplyDeleteThe second is, and this might be the most important issue in review or commentary writing, is the use of present tense instead of past tense. In this review, the writer inconsistently changes the type of sentences used (i.e.: past and present tenses combined). For instance, the second sentence in the opening paragraph states, "The story 'was'.." while it is highly recommended that in every commentary or review writing, the reviewers maintain the use of present tense.
In paragraph 5, take note on the phrase "there are a lot of jokes" which I believe should be "there is a lot of jokes" or "there are lots". That's all. :)
