I really didn't think that this was my type of film. How would i like a film that invilved a middle age women growing pot for a living? Doesn't sound promicing does it, and yet i didn't see anyone leaving the cinema without a smile on their faces, and, isn't this generally the reason we go to the cinema!
The plot is far fetched with the main character Blethyn(think i spelt it wrong, soz)losing her husband and discovering that she was also left with a massive debt to pay off of his. So, somehow, she manages to get together with her gardener and locals and they set up their own mass reproduction of cannabis as she is a very good gardener. The film ends with everyone high on cannabis as they end up setting fire to all the plants to get rid of the evidence as the ploice are making a visit. Very suprisingly is the fact the Blethyn ends up in love with the drugs baron she tried to sell the pot to and they live happy ever after.
Saving Grace is quite funny on times and the cast although mostly unknown gel together well!It's nice to see for once an original British film that doesn't center around gangsters.
You should watch this film just for some escapism if nothing else!
