DVD Review: batcall
Summary: 5 Stars

I can't recall if Craig was making the Drew Carey show, or if he made the movie first. The movie is funny and great. How the whole town grouped together reminds me of the Andy Griffith show where small towns cared together. Saving Grace is a great movie.

DVD Review: Craig Ferguson's Finest Hour.
Summary: 5 Stars

I laughed from start to finish. It just keeps getting funnier every time I see it. Craig Ferguson is just so damn loveable and cute. He is witty, believable, and just...well...Craig. You'll see glimpses of his Late Late Show humor of which we've grown to love. Grace is the same lovable mother from the new "Pride and Prejudice." If you love Electricians, Lobster Queens, Vicars, Tea Ladies, and the Town Doctor, you'll love this movie. (It's my new favorite.)

DVD Review: Lovely! Simply Lovely!
Summary: 5 Stars

The film opens with a funeral. Grace (Brenda Blethyn) has just lost her husband to some unusual circumstances.

As the story unfolds, you realize that widowhood is not all she's facing. Grace is literally about to lose everything due to her former husband's poor financial decisions. It's going to take a miracle to save her home.

Scotsman Matt (Craig Ferguson) could use a miracle, too. With his wage check from Grace bouncing, he's about to have to leave England and go home. Since Grace owes him, he asks her to help him save a marijuana plant he's been growing to sell.

Grace has more than a green thumb. A partnership is born and the two have devoted Grace's greenhouse to the illegal plant. Trouble comes when they have to figure out how to sell it.

Both Grace and Matt are hilarious, but so is the whole small town cast. If you don't object to drug films, "Saving Grace" is definitely a film you're going to get a kick out of.

Description of Saving Grace

Imagine a Cheech and Chong pothead comedy, only instead of two scruffy lowlifes, the movie is about an aimless Scottish gardener and a middle-aged British widow with a green thumb. Grace (Brenda Blethyn of Secrets and Lies and Little Voice) has just discovered that her recently deceased husband has left her with an enormous debt when her gardener Matthew (Craig Ferguson, The Big Tease) asks her to help him tend to his small, personal-use marijuana crop. Grace soon realizes that they can turn her green house into a hydroponics laboratory and turn out a profitable crop--if only they can keep the local constables at bay and then find a dealer to actually sell the stuff. Saving Grace has well-developed characters, intelligent dialogue, a charming and capable cast, and clean, clear direction. But at heart it's still a marijuana comedy, with most of its funniest moments coming from the silly, stoned behavior of elderly ladies and other stuffy Brits. Nothing wrong with that, and Blethyn and Ferguson give the film a strong anchor. The ending goes a little over-the-top, but most of the movie is well-grounded in genuine human behavior. A subplot about Matthew's girlfriend's pregnancy is treated with respect and integrity. Sweet, silly, and sincere. --Bret Fetzer
