Having just read the Craig Ferguson autobiography, I was reminded about this film that he wrote and starred in. Grace is a recently widowed woman who finds that the estate left to her by her husband is in reality a large pile of debts. Ferguson plays the gardener and has a plan to solve Grace's financial problems. It involves taking advantage of Grace's extraordinary gardening skills and Ferguson's desire to grow a bit of hemp. What follows is a quirky story of coming of age for a 30-something and 50-something in a quirky English town. It reminds me a bit of Irina Palm but in this case, everybody knows the plan, everybody helps out, and in the end financial problems are remedied. This is a good, small film that makes you feel good and is fun to watch but if you have to choose between the two, choose Irina Palm.
3 stars (out of 5)
