Saving Grace Movie

Grace is a superb gardener and is drawn into an arrangement to help her one employee with a few sickly pot plants in exchange for his wages. Then things start to get really crazy!

Being well loved in her village is a 'saving grace' too. She is spared a lot of worry and the entire village ignores her illegal growing activities. Well... sort of...

The Saving Grace movie will lift up your spirit in renewed faith of the strength and power of friendship. At the same time it will make you laugh at the circumstances and situations people find themselves in as life plays out in the small Cornish village, much as it does everywhere else.

Brenda Blethyn and Craig Ferguson do a remarkable job of creating believable people who work well together in an incredibly far out situation. In the end they accomplish their goals but it is not selling a huge crop of marijuana that saves the day.

There is a casual treatment of marijuana along with some swearing and a little male nudity at one point in the fracas, but this is a fun movie for people of a certain age and disposition. Highly recommended for light DVD entertainment - no pun intended.

Martin Clunes as Dr. Martin Bamford

By the way, Martin Clunes plays a somewhat naughty Dr. Martin Bamford in the Saving Grace movie. This role was later reprised in two made-for-television (UK) movies that followed: Doc Martin (2003) (TV) and Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie (2003) (TV). In 2004 a new character was created, Dr Martin Ellingham, as which Martin Clunes stars in the popular British TV series Doc Martin.
