Keeping Mum, a review by Antares

Keeping Mum (2005) 3/5 - I love the Brits sense of humor, it can be so dark, cynical and witty. Keeping Mum is in this vein, and although it does bring forth a chuckle from time to time, the laughs are few and far between. Maggie Smith is great as the psychopathic 'Mary Poppins', but the rest of the cast really doesn't have much to do. Rowan Atkinson is really wasted here, as he is only given a few brief moments where he chimes in with a bit of slapstick. But I will give a nod to Tamsin Egerton, who I have never heard of or seen before, but is an amazingly beautiful young woman.

Plot:
The inspiring true story of Winter isn't over. Several years after receiving a prosthetic tail, Winter loses her surrogate mother, leaving her alone, grieving and unwilling to engage with anyone, even her best human friend, Sawyer. Worse, she may have to be moved from her home at the aquarium due to regulations requiring dolphins to be paired. When Dr. Clay Haskett and his dedicated team can't find her a companion, it looks like they may lose their beloved Winter...until an unexpected turn of events brings them Hope.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Bonus Trailers
• Featurettes
• Outtakes/Bloopers

While I would say I liked the first one a little more. This film is a wonderful addition to the franchise. If you liked the first one... then this one must been seen as well.

My Thoughts:
Of course being a Christmas episode this time we have the Cryptkeeper dressed like Santa. Now this episode I enjoyed more then I did the first one. Matter of fact it remains on of my favorite episodes. This episode also made me a fan of Larry Drake in horrors. I know Christmas is on the way when I watch this episode!
