What is the name of this film?

[Ironballs]

Not much to go on, but this geezer at work asked me for the title of a film. His clues are.....

1) It's a new film less than 2 years old
2) Probably British, at least featuring mainly Brits
3) The central character is a lady, oldish, who grows cannabis.

Not much to go on, but any help greatly apprciated

Sounds like a home film. Cobra, is your girlfriend doing HOW-TO videos on growing marijuana again? She was out of prison only 6 months and went straight to her old habits. BTW - those DVDs you helped her with on growing poppies worked beautifully. :P


I don't have a clue as to the movie. The last British movie I saw was Harry Potter 4 and the next one will probably be the new James Bond.

The film you're looking for sounds just like "Saving Grace", except that film is not new. It's from the 80's (I think) and it is British. The main character (Grace) is an older lady with no money, who resorts to growing and selling marijuana to make ends meet. I saw it about a year ago on DVD. It's a cute movie - funny, but not hillarious. If that's not it, I haven't a clue. Good luck.

Mawdryn, I'll let you know if that's the one. It does look like it.

Cheers bud

IMDB shows "Saving Grace" as being from 2000

Quote"Plot Outline: A small-town English widow, facing financial troubles after her husband's suicide, turns to agriculture of an illegal kind."

sbtuttle,
yep I checked the date, I have a feeling it's not this film as I'm positive I saw a film review of a movie about a canabis growing woman not too long ago. Still Saving Grace is about the best so far, thanks to Mawdryn.

There was a series, BBC I believe, from the early 80's called Shelley with Hywel Bennett (sp). His grandmother used to grow pot in a pot on the porch. Maybe Mawdryn is confusing the two

My mistake. I was confusing "Saving Grace" with another British movie from the 80s that I rented around the same time. At least as far as the date is concerned.

A lady at work recommended the movie to me about a year ago so I rented it. I don't recall if it was from Netflix or a local video store, but I know it's out on DVD and shouldn't be hard to find.

Saving Grace wa in fact the flick.

Thanks all
