Synopsis:
When her husband jumped out of a plane without a parachute, Grace Trevethen knew life would get tough, but she had no idea just how tough. Left with a manor on the Cornish coast, a mountain of debt and dozens of creditors on her heels, she is about to lose everything. But with Matthew, the manor`s caretaker, Grace hatches an outrageous idea: why not use her renowned green thumb to plant a cash crop and pay off her debts?
Soon her greenhouse becomes a hot bed of illegal activity, and business starts blooming. But if the buzz gets too big, these budding entrepreneurs just might have to watch their dreams go up in smoke!
Two-time Academy Award-nominee Brenda Blethyn (Secrets & Lies, Little Voice) and Craig Ferguson (TV`s The Drew Carey Show) are delightful in a most potent comedy that`ll make you "just say yes to Saving Grace!" (Leah Rozen, People)

Your Opinions and Comments
The acting is very nice and the general atmosphere is very convincing.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs at all.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good. While there are no special effects in the movie whatsoever, the music is simply great and the surrounds are used to play it quite loudly.
The menus are all static.
The extras include 2 commentaries by the director and actors and a hilarious trailer. That`s it. :)
Bottom line - a great movie (although not very educational) with some fine tunes in it.
It will definitely make you laugh. Go for it.
