My Review - Saving Grace


SAVING GRACE wasn’t flawless, but it was entertaining.

Tracy/Grace flees New York to escape a stalker.  Leaving her burgeoning opera career behind, she decides to lay low in Madison Falls, Montana until she can figure out what she’s going to do.  Her skittish behavior and lack of trust puts her on the outs with local handyman, Sam.  But suave businessman, Devon, seems to have worked his way under her radar.  Not knowing what to do with herself, Grace is drawn to the local theatre where she gets a part time job.  Trying to fit in, she begrudgingly makes friends with the locals, and soon finds herself swept up by small town life.  No sooner does Grace feel as if things are going her way, her world once again is completely turned upside down. 

I enjoyed SAVING GRACE, I just felt at times Grace wasn’t always likable.  Her skittish, over reactive ways made sense after all she’d been through.  And a person not use to watching her every move is going to make what looks like obvious mistakes.  But her personality just didn’t always lean towards likeability.  I feel someone who was as terrified as she should’ve been would’ve been a little more humble.  When fearing for your life, your number one goal is staying alive, not feeling as if you are above a certain job.  And the difference between the way she treated Sam and Devon seemed a bit unbalanced.  Other than that, SAVING GRACE had all the ingredients for a suspense filled, romance.
