Smith steals the show in this black comedy as homicidal housekeeper Grace. She's just taken a job with harried, oblivious vicar Walter Goodfellow (Atkinson) and his neglected family. Bored wife Gloria (Scott Thomas) is flirting with her brash American golf pro Lance (Swayze); teen daughter Holly is a nympho; and younger son Petey (Parkes) is beset by bullies. But tart-tongued Grace will make everything all right since her lurid past (a stint in a prison for the criminally insane) has not made her squeamish about getting things done.
