New Rowan Atkinson movie (in the US anyway!)
I just saw a trailer for this movie on BBC America. It's being released in select cities on September 15th (although by the date I would hazard to guess that it was released in Britian last year although I could be wrong) . I always love when new British movies are released (especially comedies). It's brilliant to sit in the cinema and LYAO whilst no other bugger has a clue what you find so funny! (I.e 'The full monty') 
(2005)
KEEPING MUM
Starring:
Rowan Atkinson
Maggie Smith
Rated R
1 hr 43 mins
Black Comedy
Synopsis:
KEEPING MUM stars Atkinson as an absent-minded vicar of a rural parish who is so distracted by the pressures of his job that he fails to notice his wife's (Thomas) dalliance with her brash golf instructor (Swayze), his daughter's parade of new boyfriends, and his young son's regular trouncing by the school's bullies. Enter their charming new housekeeper, Grace (Smith), the answer to the family's prayers: a sweet, grey-haired old lady with her own distinctive definition of cleaning house. One by one, the family members find that Grace is able to solve their problems, but they don't realize that her means are leading to a lot of ends and the population of their sleepy hamlet is rapidly diminishing.

Who can forget the lines: "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Goat" and 'Holy Spigot'?

Saw this one on a plane recently - worth watching, very funny.
Off course, he had to make a speech, during which he, once again, said holy goat....other than that it was funny
