I stumbled upon this indie film and was prepared to hate it, but boy was I wrong. Falling for Grace is surprisingly intelligent, funny, warm and thought provoking and weaves in an interesting plot line that deals with unions in New York Chinatown. At first glance, one might think this is the typical white man saves minority woman movie, but it's actually quite the opposite. You fall in love with the Asian family and in fact, Grace is the one who "saves" Andrew. I love romantic comedies and this is one of the very few of late that gave me something to think about. Cast is superb, by the way, particularly the Asian American leads, Fay Ann Lee (Grace) and Ken Leung (her brother). Margaret Cho is the funny best friend who is probably under utilized. Christine Baranski may have the funniest line in the film and Gale Harold (Andrew) of Queer as Folk fame is tender and still very hot as the romantic lead. I hope other rom com fans start to discover this little gem of a film.
