Saving Grace Reviews
The script has been worked on to great effect so that the timing of the comedy is just right, the punchlines are delivered in all the proper places, and there is breathing space in between the bouts of increasing comic madness.

A pleasant little comedy with the soul of one of those old, much loved Ealing pictures of the forties and fifties but overlayed with a coating of Hollywood glitz.

Grossly overestimates the effects of Marijuana so that it can get the cheap laughs. But it is genuinely and consistently funny

[Blethyn] brings great heart to the role of Grace, injecting notes of surprising truth into what is otherwise a pleasantly nutty little film.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 7, 2003
It's a feel good British movie ideal for gangs of middle-aged, middle-minded women on bored afternoons, and toxically saccharine to anyone else.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002
It's all fluff with the deeply imbedded message that no matter what happens in life, you have to deal with it and move on.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002
In trying too hard to convince us what good eggs his characters are, Cole creates a shapeless, dramatically unengaging movie.

...Saving Grace is charming enough and entertaining enough for me to recommend it.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 8, 2002
It's a crazy plot, but it works wonderfully, thanks largely to Blethyn's terrific performance.

A Cheech and Chong movie for the art-house crowd.

Saving Grace has a lovely Cornish setting and Blethyn to recommend it, but mostly it's a contact mediocre.

Dejar una agradable sensacin de esparcimiento y sana diversin a quien tenga la suerte de realizar un buen 'viaje' de risas y buen humor.

Blethyn's solid-gold charm turns Saving Grace into a comic high.
