Mum's the Word

About This Movie

Mum's the Word is this quirky little comedy that captures a certain youthful mischief. The premise is pretty wild—kids dressing up as Newfoundland Mummers to sniff out hidden cash in Mr. Templeton's house. It's got that playful tone, mixed with a sense of camaraderie among the characters that feels genuine. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm, you know? The practical effects are simple yet effective, keeping things grounded. The performances from the young cast are spirited, and you can really feel their excitement and naivety. It’s distinctive in how it plays with local folklore, giving it this unique flavor that sets it apart from other comedies of its time.
