Saving Grace DVD

Love this film Brenda Blethyn brings out the best in her role as the widow left with so many debts by her late husband.

She has to find a way to save her home and it's contents before they are repossessed.Read full review

Okay but could have been a lot better

The characters and script were very contrived and unconvincing. It is likely that most people choosing this video will have experienced being stoned and it is clear that the scriptwriters hadn't. The subtleties of the effects are naturally funny but the performances of people just behaving like out-of-control morons (stripping naked and dancing around yelling "Wheeeeee!") just doesn't cut it. It was okay and marginally entertaining but, although the subject matter must obviously be aimed at adults, the humour and performances were clearly aimed at children. A bit disappointing.Read full review

Gentle old style comedy

Gentle old style comedy, well acted and filmed, but nowhere near as funny as other reviews have reported. Filmed at same location as Doc Martin, and Martin Clunes plays the doctor !
I suspect this is where they got the idea.Read full review

Good fun film

Not something I would normally have watched, but it was really entertaining. With a very eclectic range of actors.
Well worth a watch. Couldn't get it on my streaming channels, so bought this dvd.

A story to start you crying leave you laughing.

I was living in Port Isaac while they filmed this, but was away on a contract for the entire shoot. My brother-in-law was one of the extras, as was an acquaintance from the pub (who even got in the credits!). I finally thought it was about time to own the DVD.
It is at least the third time I've watched it and I don't re-watch many films.
I may be a little prejudiced, but I'd say there are few faultless films, and this is one of them.

Love this film

A real feel-good film, with some laugh out loud moments. Brenda Blethyn is a very fine actor and deserves more recognition than she gets.

Fun

We love this film. Had a copy and lent it to someone who never returned it. Can't remember who ! So bought another. It cheers us up when we are feeling down . The characters are diverse and entertaining with a good story to keep you hooked. If you can excuse the fact that was is going on is against the law and just enjoy the film it is a feel good factor for any rainy day or dull evening.Read full review

One of the funniest films ever made. Excellent performances, absurd situations, lovely story.
