A dark comedy that isn't dark or particularly funny, Keeping Mum ends up being an exercise in heavy-handed whimsy.

Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic
Rotten

A meek little diversion, nothing more.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

A modest comedy that wants to be both dark and reassuring at the same time.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Fresh

Bracket out the ethical concerns of making merry as the body count mysteriously rises and Keeping Mum is an endearing hoot.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Fresh

It's probably one of the funniest films to come out of England in years.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
