Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Amy Adler Grace Wang (Fay Ann Lee) is the daughter of a Chinese couple who immigrated to Chinatown, NYC. Yet, her childhood was unhappy, for classmates made fun of her clothes, her Chinese name and her Oriental looks. Finally, the little gal, admiring Grace Kelly, decided to turn her Cinderella background into a successful life. Her one pal from long ago, Janie (Margaret Cho) followed her lead. The both of them now work for a lucrative financial firm, where Grace is a top adviser. Although there is a good looking Chinese man in the firm, Grace resists his overtures. One night, she attends an "upper class" event to make connections for her company. There the ladies mistake her for being an heiress to a famous clothing line, Shanghai Wang. Although she tries to correct them, they talk right over her. Also, throwing her heart into a tizzy, she meets Andrew Barrington, Jr. (Gale Harold) a handsome, rising attorney. This handsome man, almost engaged to another blueblood, is likewise quite taken with Grace. As they extend their friendship, Grace learns Andrew is interested in fighting for better wages in the Chinatown sweatshops that supply clothes to a up-and-coming designer. Whoa, its the same company Grace's firm is considering for an acquisition at an inflated price, for they are not aware of the designer's use of the sweatshops. Yet, as Andrew believes Grace is rich because of her family, he is aghast when he discovers her true roots, only because he believes she lied to him. Then, too, Grace attempted to warn the firm of acquiring the designer's line, only to be demoted and humiliated. With her heart broken and her job on the line, is Cinderella going to return to rags and cinders? This lovely film has a very talented lady at the helm. Fay Ann Lee, who speaks perfect English and Chinese, wrote, directed, and starred as Grace. Let's bow to her at once. Harold makes a very attractive and talented co- star while Cho, Christine Baranski, and others do fine work. There are nice sets, costumes, and amenities, too. Fall away from your dull routine and go find Falling for Grace.
saeiwata Absolutely adore the movie! The romance was very cute, and the plot was interesting. Rare and refreshing to see a movie with an Asian lead and Chinese culture incorporated. The movie is incredibly relatable to any Asian culture. I loved the attention to detail when the writer and director portrayed Grace and her family. This is an excellent family film that really captures all the aspects of New York. The main actors did an excellent job in the film. I found myself really invested and indulged in the romance of the film. The audience can really connect and love Grace (the main character). I really enjoyed the subtle comedy in this movie. This movie reminded me of the classic film Maid in Manhattan. I wish people would make more films like Falling for Grace. I strongly recommend watching this film!
alexrusli Falling for Grace is good-hearted, lovable, and delightfully eccentric, with a sharp script and great lead performance from Fay Ann Lee. She eloquently portrays the two sides of Grace Tang, an intelligent successful wall street investment banker who is able to take care of her immigrant parent while she is trying find her way and discover true love. This independent film exceeded my expectations, and it was nice to see an Asian-American take the lead role. Falling for Grace captures the nature of true romance and is about as enjoyable as romantic comedies come, especially if you or someone you know is an Asian American. This romantic comedy may appear a bit cliché, but it's a cliché that connects when it is expressed with as much warm-hearted charm.
cschristoph Saw the film in Sausalito. Walked by the Marin Theater and saw a flier the producers were handing out describing the movie as charming. I don't usually go for romantic comedies but this lived up to their advertising. It is a really charming film with interesting twists, LOL funny in places and really endearing family scenes. I even choked up in a couple of places. All the actors were great and the two lead characters, Grace and Andrew, had wonderful believable chemistry. So often in movies like this chemistry between the two leads seemed forced. In Falling For Grace, you really want the two of them to get together in the end. The only actors I recognized were Margaret Cho, Christine Baranksi and Lewis Black and they were all great. The Chinese family I had never seen before but they were excellent. T The producer was there at the end and he gave interesting details that added to the wonderful theater going experience. I totally recommend!
