Saving Grace

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.

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.

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.

This movie hit the giggle spot. There are some memorable lines that would mean nothing to anyone who had not seen it. "Would you like some corn flakes? They're heavenly." Makes me smile every time I think of the scene. This is a laid-back, moderately paced countryside adventure with an underlying theme of not taking yourself too seriously.If you are anti-cannabis, or you consider yourself a stickler for proper behavior and attire, don't watch this. Or maybe you should! A fun and lighthearted movie that features more mature actors in the central roles. Refreshing.

good plot, great actors and good outcome

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

Saving Grace is just a fun, simple movie to enjoy. Plot is easy to figure out, but it is fun and nice to see some currently popular actors in this older movie.

I have seen this movie several times it is super cute. Funny British movie for all. Highly recommend
