SUMMARY / COMMENTARY: Saving Grace (R) -- "Saving Grace" will not provide eternal Salvation, but it may lead to elsewhere. Grace (Brenda Blethyn) is a widow of a the owner of a magnificent country home in the Welsh countryside. Opulent and glittering, the home provides for a picture postcard view of Cornwall England. But alas, Grace's husband is killed by a fall from an airplane and what is left of him is honored in a closed casket procession -- a rather small closed casket. Maybe the size of the casket is evidentiary of the size of his bank account. Not only did Grace inherit the magnificent home, she inherited the massive indebtedness of her bum and womanizing husband. While pondering her woes, a viral gardener Matthew (Craig Ferguson) comes along and offers a way out of the indebtedness -- and into the dregs of crime. Matthew introduces Grace to growing and selling marijuana. Once a large crop is grown, Grace takes her wares to London to sell. Meeting street hustler Vince (Bill Bailey) after trying her best to select clients from the punk and other similarly dressed pedestrians, Grace is introduced by Vince to master dealer Jacques (Tcheky Karyo). Jacques tries his best to be menacing and threatening to Grace, but even he could not maintain his bravado of evil against the "motherly grace" of Grace. After a few manipulations not typical of the innocence of the sweet ole lady type, Grace scores big with Jacques and goes away rich and but only inwardly guilty as sin. Back at the homestead as the police start to close in on her operations, Grace sets fire, unintentionally though, to her pile of tetrahydrocannabinol and becomes as intoxicated by the smoke as the rest of the townspeople, cop included. And all have a flitteringly good time, many nude but all drunk on Captain Cannabis, old ladies included [Gal. 5:21]. In the end, Grace becomes famous and wealthy suffering absolutely no consequences whatsoever [Eccl. 8:11]. And, of course, all the drug usage was presented as fun and games. Among the items of ignominy listed in the Findings/Scoring section include drinking, smoking dope, drug intoxication, nudity, dealing, public urination, lies, threat with a knife, a crooked cop ....... But all in "fun." [Gal. 5:21; Hab. 2:12] As always, it is best to refer to the Findings/Scoring section -- the heart of the CAP analysis model -- for the most complete assessment possible of this movie.
