Falling for Grace Audience Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
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.
franksremote I had the pleasure of watching Falling For Grace today and it sparked enough interest to have me research it further. You can imagine my surprise to discover that it was released in 2007 yet I'd only come to "stumble upon" it now, almost eight years later. This production was not only refreshing in its originality but in my ability to relate as a Chinese American who was immersed in many of the same situations depicted albeit via the opposite coast in San Francisco. There are definitely ethnic and customs based stories that can and should be told, so I wholeheartedly hope that Fay Ann Lee's mainstream endeavors haven't ended with just this film. We all need stories of perseverance and triumph more than ever; made all the more powerful when it's clearly not entirely a fictional accounting and personally relate-able. For the conviction showed in releasing her film, her way, instead of just supplicating and compromising the integrity of her story: thank you Fay Ann Lee I look forward to what the future brings from you.
suite92 Cinematography: 7/10 Way too much soft focus.Sound: 7/10 Fine for the English speakers. The incidental music is cloying.Acting: 5/10 This is a mixed bag, to say the least. BD Wong, Lewis Black, Christine Baranski, Ato Essandoh, Roger Rees, and Margaret Cho were fine. Christine Baranski was the best; her discussion with Andrew Jr about how he had to marry Kay was one of the most genuine moments in the film. On the other hand, Fay Ann Lee, Gale Harold, Stephanie March, and Ken Leung were much less satisfying, with Gale Harold being the absolute worst.Screenplay: 4/10 There were too many clichés from the romantic comedy field. I have nothing against clichés; even the oldest can be funny if done right. There were only a few recognizable attempts at humor. I found myself thinking that I should be laughing at this, but I did not laugh once.
mapleleaf321 Just came out of the screening in San Francisco today. Good audience reaction. Being an SAF, I'm all about supporting Asian American films. Yes, this is a clichéd romantic comedy. But the director and the actors do get the Asian family dynamics dead on. I was impressed by the actors they were able to get for this film e.g. Christine Baranski.There is a slightly clever subplot to the film but I don't want to give it away. The business/legal issues portrayed in the film could have only been thought of by Fay's business school friends.I liked Margaret Cho as the female best friend/sidekick. I think she could continue to play that role well in many other future films (Asian and non-Asian). If she doesn't mind being typecast as such.OK, that's it for my very first film review!
