[Week II] Movie Review Keeping Mum

The movie titled "Keeping Mum" is a comedy about a family which has a lot of problems. Walter, the husband works as a vicar in the small parish of Little Wallop. One of the problems is Walter is too focused on his job and he neglects his family and that leads to his wife, Gloria doing an affair with her golf instructor, his daughter sleeps with lots of men, and his son is afraid of going to school because he is bullied in school.

Their problems slowly ends when the housekeeper named Grace who was jailed for murder of her husband starts working for the family. She sees that the family has a lot of problems and she wants to help them solve it. Her intention is good but she does it in an extreme way and that is by killing the cause of the problems. One example is the dog that always barks in the night disturbing Gloria's sleep, she sees that as a problem and kills the dog, eventually she kills the owner too. She only wants to make the family live happily without problems.

This movie has some good points and bad points. The good points are the movie is thrilling and interesting so you want to know the story until the end. The bad points for this movie are sometimes the joke is hard to understand because it is from the dialogue so non-English people will have a hard time understanding the jokes, the other bad point is sometimes the dialogue is boring. I'll give this movie a 7 out of 10. Despite the flaw this movie is quite entertaining. Not awesome, but good.

  1. This essay/review was quite good, but there are also few mistakes.
    In the second paragraph, 'extreme way' isn't suitable for the sentence so try to think of other words that would be approriate and make readers to understand.

    In the last paragraph, instead of writing 'the other bad point,' you should write 'and' since you are talking about the bad points. And in the good points, you only wrote only one point, so be careful with your writing. Try to recheck your review before submitting.

    Besides that, you actually did a good job in writing.

  2. I think you should use past tense rather than present tense because it's a review about the movie and the second paragraph you should give more example about what have Grace done to this family.
