Amazon.co.uk Review
A sweet, silly and sincere comedy, ISaving Grace/I resembles a Cheech and Chong pothead comedy, only instead of two scruffy lowlifes the film is about an aimless Scottish gardener and a middle-aged widow with a green thumb. Grace (Brenda Blethyn of ISecrets and Lies/I and ILittle Voice/I) has just discovered that her recently deceased husband has left her with an enormous debt when her gardener Matthew (Craig Ferguson, IThe Big Tease/I) asks her to help him tend to his small, personal-use marijuana crop. Grace soon realises that they can turn her greenhouse into a hydroponics laboratory and turn out a profitable crop--if only they can keep the local constables at bay and then find a dealer to sell the stuff. ISaving Grace/I has well-developed characters, intelligent dialogue, a charming and capable cast and clean, clear direction. But at heart it's still a marijuana comedy, with most of its funniest moments coming from the silly, stoned behaviour of elderly ladies and others. Nothing wrong with that, and Blethyn and Ferguson give the film a strong anchor. The ending goes a little over the top, but most of the film is well-grounded in genuine human behaviour. A sub-plot about Matthew's girlfriend's pregnancy is treated with respect and integrity. --IBret Fetzer, Amazon.com/I

If you liked Cool Runnings then this is your next DVD. A excellent comedy film that will keep you entertained and you can watch it again and again and still find new things to laugh at.
Feel good factor - high November 26, 2008

This is a great feel good factor DVD - it just makes you laugh out loud, no matter how many time you watch it...great value.
whenever I feel a little blue.... October 22, 2008
This is the one I put on! Have had a videoed version from the TV for a long time but it wore a bit thin from over-use so have just replaced with DVD version. br /There's so much to like...the beautiful scenery for a start, the chap who plays Matthew (double yum), the heart-warming tale of community spirit (where did it go?..) the goofy dealer who plays dungeons and dragons, looks like he might duff you up but plays bouncy folk music in his wacky car, and the bit with Matthew and Grace are alone on the beach which cracks me up every single time - I mean really, laugh out loud stuff, it's contagious and a real boost to your health!br /No deep and meaningful story but it's so English and charming and lovable, just like Martin Clunes! Wonderful.
Growing your own September 11, 2008
When a film gets this many stars from this many people there is little to add. This is a wonderful British comedy which stands up to repeat viewing. I tend to watch it when I'm in need of cheering up and it never fails to do that. It encompasses all that is good and weird about village life and the lengths that people will go to help eachother. You may not choose to use your greenhouse to pay off your debts but you'll certainly enjoy watching this crop grow.
 did we see the same film? August 26, 2008
Perhaps I don't have a sense of humour after all, but I'm astonished by the rave reviews for this slight piece of nonsense. The film starts well and is lovely to look at, but rapidly degenerates into not-very-funny farce. Giggly elderly ladies who mistake pot plants for tea, anyone? br /Let's put aside the fact that Grace could have solved her financial woes at a stroke - and probably secured her future- by selling her huge, gorgeous pile in a prime Cornish property hotspot. Let's pretend it's far easier to set up a cannabis factory in a greenhouse often visited by the ladies of the WI....br /Some of the early scenes are sweet but by the time Grace heads to London in search of a Mr Big on whom to offload her 20 kilos of weed, the whole thing loses the plot. Bill Bailey does deserve an honourable mention for his small-time dealer cameo, though.br /The final scenes are so juvenile I can only imagine what the writers were doing when they came up with them ....br /I'm normally a sucker for light and fluffy movies, but not this one. Brenda Blethyn does a good job with the material she has, but it's not her finest hour.br /
