Review of Falling for Grace (2006) by Ben T — 25 Apr 2011
It was another stereotyped, cross-cultural, ethnic romance with a tad of class struggle thrown in. American filmmaker Fay Ann Lee did what she can to save this little NYC Chinatown vs. East Coast establishment fairytale.
The made-for-television cinematography, editing and background score have all the Hallmark TV series trademark. Its storyline was very superficial. Margaret Cho (Ghost Whisperer), Christine Baranski (The Good Wife) and Ken Leung (Rush Hour; Saw) were much underused as sidekick cameos.
What really hurt the film was that there weren't much chemistry or sexual attraction between the gorgeous Ms. Lee as Grace and her prince charming Gale Harold (Brian from Queer As Folks). For these fluffy type of love stories, we've gotta care for these two leads!
