Saving Grace (2000) **
Directed by Nigel Cole. With Brenda Blethyn, Craig Ferguson, Tcheky Karyo. Who knew that growing pot could be so much fun? Blethyn plays a sweet old lady in a small English town who decides to pay off her late husband’s huge debts by becoming a hemp farmer. All her neighbors (including the cops!) quickly learn about her new hobby, but since this is a British comedy, everybody is way too excentric to worry about the law and such. Hilarious and sweet.
