In a story that looks exciting and exciting about a man working as a deputy in Little Wallb's British village named Walter Goodfellow and writing the perfect sermon. Walter is so busy writing his perfect sermons that he fails to notice his wife courting a US golf coach, his daughter with many friends and his son as a favorite of intimidation. But everything will change later when Grace Hawkins, the new housekeeper, has a radical solution to the family's long-standing problems.
A modest comedy that wants to be both dark and reassuring at the same time.

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.
Don't expect Rowan Atkinson in full Bean or Blackadder flight: this is much more delicate Country Life comeuppance at the hands of a deliciously dark fairy godmother.
Rowan Atkinson ("Mr. Bean") plays straight-man Reverend Walter Goodfellow to Grace Hawkins (acted with keen wit by Maggie Smith) his genteel serial-killer housekeeper in this delicious British black comedy.
