Grossly overestimates the effects of Marijuana so that it can get the cheap laughs. But it is genuinely and consistently funny

It's a feel good British movie ideal for gangs of middle-aged, middle-minded women on bored afternoons, and toxically saccharine to anyone else.

Saving Grace has a lovely Cornish setting and Blethyn to recommend it, but mostly it's a contact mediocre.
