2005 British black comedy film starring Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott
Thomas, Maggie Smith and Patrick Swayze. In the opening scene, as
pregnant young Rosie Jones (Emilia Fox) rides on a train, her very large
trunk starts leaking blood. When questioned by the police, she calmly
reveals that the two dismembered bodies inside are of her unfaithful
husband and his mistress. She is then sentenced by the judge (Roger
Hammond) to a secure unit for the criminally insane for manslaughter.
Forty-three years later, in the village of Little Wallop, Walter
Goodfellow, the vicar (Rowan Atkinson) is very busy writing the perfect
sermon for a conference, having no idea about the problems in his house,
which include the unfulfilled sexual needs of his wife Gloria (Kristin
Scott Thomas) who subsequently starts an affair with her golf
instructor, Lance (Patrick Swayze); the rebellious nature of his
daughter Holly (Tamsin Egerton) who constantly picks up new boyfriends;
and son Petey (Toby Parkes) who is bullied by schoolmates, led by Billy
Martin.
