Review by Marty Mapes
Saving Grace has all the ingredients for a good British comedy: quirky, silly characters and a good dose of scenery. Grace (Brenda Blethyn) has just lost her husband and inherited his debt. Desperate and lonely, she befriends her gardener, who needs help nursing his, ahem, hemp plants back to life. The jokes are predictable, featuring the prim British lady playing off the hip young drug culture, but the laughs are there and more importantly, the comedy is sympathetic.
