A small town British widow with a green thumb named Grace who thinks she is wealthy is shocked to discover after her husband's death that they were in fact a few hundred thousand dollars in debt. Attempting to save herself from having her house taken away, she joins with her plant-savvy gardener Matthew to start growing marijuana. Your sides will hurt from laughing from this wonderful flick. Matthew's disapproving pregnant girlfriend is eventually won over, as are two adorable elderly women who visit Grace's greenhouse and do not realize that the plants are marijuana. They then proceed to make tea with it and eat many corn flakes (hence the graphic on our entertainment contents page). If you want a funny, wonderful high, watch this "feel good" movie.
In a fine German restuarant, Chef Martha Klein is in charge and known for her strong-willed disposition. When her sister dies in a car accident, she takes in her eight-year-old niece who is equally as stubborn and while Martha searches for the girl's estranged father, she finds herself growing fond of her. Things get sweeter when a new Italian chef named Mario lands at Martha's restaurant. Martha must choose between giving him a hard time or perhaps letting him into her world. The movie is charming and sometimes comical, with outstanding acting and delicious culinary treats.
