 A Joint Venture May 4, 2008

In a quaint Cornish village, local matron and horticulturalist Grace Trevethyn (Brenda Blethyn) finds herself a new widow with an insurmountable pile of debt. The whole town commiserates with Grace's predicament, but it is Matthew, her gardener (Craig Ferguson), who comes up with a sure-fire plot to raise money for both of them: He will take his few, sickly pot plants to her fancy greenhouse, grow the plants with hydroponics, and make a fortune for both of them!
This really sweet and funny comedy was written, produced by, and stars the irrepressible Craig Ferguson, of late night TV fame. He's quite charming as the gardener who tries to help Grace get back on her feet, financially and emotionally. Brenda Blethyn is perfect as the respectable lady who's all business when it comes to saving her manor and even goes to a London street market to peddle her wares.
The local folk are delightfully eccentric and there's a lot of homey appeal that makes you root for Grace and Matthew regardless of the legalities. The pace grows quite chaotic toward the end with sinister drug dealers, bankers, the police, and the entire town converging on Grace's greenhouse, and the ending is odd, but this well-made little gem is full of laughs.
Delightful! April 20, 2008

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out a few years ago simply because a friend dragged me to it...
It was one of the funniest and best written movies I saw that year. I recently added it to my DVD collection simply to be able to share with friends who have not have had the privilege of seeing it. To date, everyone that I have shared it with have expressed the same opinion that I have:
HIGHLY recommended!!

I do not condone drug movies but I make an exception for this one. A good plot line, laughter and delemas. Turned out even my grandchildren could watch it, with parents permission. Don't sell this movie short. It's excellent.
absolutely wonderful March 6, 2008

the scene with the two old ladies in the store is worth every penny you pay for this wonderful British comedy about the bud.
Hilarious! January 7, 2008

This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I've shared it with several others who agree. If you appreciate intelligent humor and especially if you enjoy British humor, you'll love this movie.
