Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Kerry C A friend of mine kept telling me to watch "Falling for Grace." While I do like romantic comedies, I don't typically like independent comedies - many of which are poorly done with stupid plots. I finally watched it and I was very pleasantly surprised. My friend was right - this really is a romantic comedy that actually has both heart and soul. The movie is about Grace Tang, a banker from New York Chinatown who yearns to be part of Upper East Side society, but her plan backfires when the "Prince Charming" she meets desires to close down the "sweatshop" her mother works in. Don't want to say more but circumstances become as complicated as that in "Working Girl" with some LOL moments reminiscent of the comedy in "Crazy Stupid Love." While the plot is classic romantic comedy, the Chinese family feels utterly authentic. You like them and you want to get to know more about them. The cast is uniformly strong with lots of recognizable New York actors. Kudos to Fay Ann Lee for writing and directing such a strong script. It feels like a big movie and you forget that it's just an awesome independent film. You leave wanting more. Why can't Hollywood romantic comedies make you feel this way?
Yvonne Reid This film really hits all the right spots for me. Fay directs it perfectly and stars in it perfectly (with Gale Harold) I think you should watch this film with your girlfriends and a big bucket of popcorn. Grace is mistaken for a Hong Kong heiress and meets her Prince Charming, Andrew Barrington Jr (Gale Harold). Then there is a beautiful romance, but...no, just watch it and find out for yourself. I promise you'll love it! No fan of romance movies should miss this, the best flick ever. The scenery is stunning too and I thought the film had many laughs too. I don't think anyone could say there was a dull moment in this film. Janie (Margaret Cho) was excellent too in her performance, I just wanted to mention that also. Do give this movie a go, you won't regret it I promise.
susieitalia88 I went to Washington DC to see Falling for Grace, and I just want to say how much I enjoyed this movie. It was sweet and funny and I really loved it.All of the different stories in this movie were good and interesting. I loved Grace and her family, all the scenes with them were really funny and touching. I really liked Margaret Cho and DB Wong's characters in this, they were some really cute scenes with the 2 of them. And what can I say about Gale Harold, he is great as always. It was so nice to see him in such a lighthearted comedy, so unlike all of his other movies and TV shows. He is not only tall and handsome, but he plays a really regular guy who just happens to be rich and successful. I loved his character.I would really recommend this movie, I saw it twice and hope it is released nationally so that I can see it again. Go and see it this summer, you will not be disappointed.
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.
