Saving Grace

This movie is one madcap comedy note to another. Brenda Blethyn plays a widowed wife who discovers her wealth has been squandered by her irresponsible husband at the reading of his will. She inherited a debt greater than $300,000 pounds and no means to pay to it back. She decides to use her talent as a great gardener to grow marijuana in her greenhouse. The path to becoming financially solvent challenges her and the hilarity of finding a dealer ends in a wonderful, life changing reward for her. Great movie!

This is a really enjoyable movie, with some of the funniest dialogues. (“On the test slides, some of the chromosomes had little kilts on. I have some bad news, though. There’s a slight risk of ginger hair.”) It’s one of the few movies I’ve rewatch repeatedly over the years and love every time. Just upgraded from the DVD to Blu-ray, and it’s a major step up - the sharpness of the picture and the colors are sooo much better. Can’t recommend highly enough! Great feel-good movie.

If you like to laugh with a little slapstick comedy, this movie is it -

I saw this movie years ago & never thought I'd find it again. Lo & behold, found it on Amazon & immediately bought it. I laugh my head off every time I watch it. Brenda Blethyn is amazing as Grace. I was surprised to see that Craig Ferguson wrote it & of course, is in it as well. Might not be for everyone, but, I watch it over & over & laugh every time.

Had a girl's night with pizza....this movie was hilarious and a little emotional. Totally recommend!

good plot, great actors and good outcome

This is a fall-off- the-couch funny film, and one you might as well buy, because you are going to watch it again and again for the silliness and comfort. For Craig Ferguson fans, it's a must -own. Tcheky Karyo fans will chortle as he pops up yet again where least anticipated.Newly widowed Grace (pertly played by Brenda Blethyn) finds her dissolute husband has left her nothing but debt; creditors and re-possessors now besiege her lovely Cornish seaside home. As she seeks solace in tending her greenhouse orchids, she ponders how to get out of the financial quagmire. For distraction she charitably tends to her feckless caretaker (Craig Ferguson)'s ailing personal-use cannabis plot, and a joint venture blooms.As Grace and Matthew modify the greenhouse, cultivate the crop, and go to market, hilarity, as they say, ensues. The villagers - all characters we wish were in our local pub - are perfection as they feign ignorance of the entire enterprise, while quietly lending unseen support to their beloved neighbor. No one is as he or she initially seems, and the various `reveals' in the subplots are charming and delightful. There is much 70's style stoner humor, but with an updated, wonderful, and uniquely British twist.Obligatory "locals inadvertently get stoned" sequences are not only original in their construction but, somehow, innocent and sweet. The ladies and the corn flakes scene is certainly one of the finest pieces of physical comedy ever put on film. And as the story progresses, it evolves from a tale of potentially puerile marijuana mishaps to, instead, one of the power of love and redemption as Grace and Matthew each find their salvation in the unfolding of a future neither of them foresaw. The ending is pure bliss, and an absolute upper.Get it. You'll be delighted.

Light comedy. A number of moments of outright laughter. Enjoyable.
