Carrie Knight **May contain spoilers***Decent acting. It was a little corny in parts but a very entertaining movie. Larger stars did not have many lines and were not germane to the plot except tycoon dad. I admit their names got me to watch in the first place. Not sure why I decided to watch this since I don't care for deceit as a story line, but glad I did. Good job acting, directing and editing for the most part.

Christian von Delius I don't review a lot of movies, and I have what I consider to be classics from my point of view. We selected Falling for Grace on a whim on Netflix looking for something on the lighter side. And boy oh boy were we pleasantly surprised. It seems our heroine is a run of the mill girl who wants to be SOMEBODY..well, she gets her chance, in a mistaken circumstance, which spirals into a tangled web, becoming more and more intricate, in every new situation, she must exercise her cleverness to prevent the truth from being revealed, drawing in even her new-found prince charming. As we meet characters, we take them at face value, and learn to love them, and relate to their eccentricities. Fay plays her character with excellence, drawing you into her world and desires, but also feeling her dilemma she has dug with her own actions. There are twists, just like in real life, with hidden benefits as a result, especially for her office friend, caused by a simple turn of events. Each character has a depth of caring and friendship which forms a solid foundation in the movie, and the sense of family is reinforced within her family, and contrasted against the purpose of the rich 'families' and their motivations. You REALLY care deeply for each character, and the sense of just watching real life occur, with no pretense, causes you to forget you are watching a movie, but rather your friends. And good triumphs in the end, as it should. FFG is non-violent, family friendly, uplifting, and just great acting and writing. It will surely be vaulted into your top 100 movies. And of interest, do some research on Fay's background, how the movie came to be, and especially the obstacles, that resulted in Fay (lead actress/director) and Michelle (editor) personally standing outside theaters advertising to passersby to gain a following. I doubt you will find any other directors doing that. My hat is off to Fay Ann Lee for her OUTSTANDING production of this film and to her cast and production crew! Do yourself and your friends and family a favor and treat them to see this movie-you won't be disappointed. -Christian

a_palmatum All aspects of the production were extremely well done. This is an indie that was put together by big kids who know their business. Things like camera work, editing, lighting and sound were really paid due attention. Also impressive were sets, costuming and especially casting and acting. I don't often see this, but all the moving parts (people, places and things) meshed together beautifully. The director and editor both did a superb job.The only thing I can reasonably gripe about is that the music choices got sappy at times. But, it's a romantic comedy – not my usual neighborhood.As to the Whole Package, I left the theater feeling my ten bucks was well spent. But, it's one of those movies that I like better the more it rattles about in my brain. Which it won't. stop. doing. Oh no! As I suggested earlier this isn't my usual fare; but this one is a charmer. If it's in your quadrant, check it out.

elisa_parker "Falling for Grace" is a wonderful film that pulls on all those heart strings and is the perfect film for the entire family. My young daughters enjoyed it just as much as their grandparents. I loved the story line and the fact that the character, Grace is an intelligent, successful woman.This movie is more than just a romantic comedy with a predictable ending. It provides a window to the life in Chinatown and the struggles around race, class, and gender. The most enduring parts of the film are Grace's relationship with her family. I could relate to Grace's connection with her parents, her challenges in the corporate world, and her childhood dreams and desires to shine.Finally a film that stars an Asian American actor. Considering this is Fay Lee's first feature film, I think she did an incredible job. This movie far exceeds Maid in Manhattan...better story line, believable characters, and more depth. If you want to experience an uplifting and wonderful film, go see "Falling for Grace", you'll love it.
