I got her...Getting Grace
lisa4a28 January 2018
Getting Grace: you get her or you may not but this movie hopes that you do. From the first moment I met them I liked the characters, Grace and her Mom and I became joyously lost to this story. I say joyously even though cancer is the catalyst for all that is to be. This film is not about cancer, it's about spirit, love and hope. Getting Grace is about a young lady with cancer who in seeking to find answers to what the world and her mom will be like without her manages to touch the many lives she meets along the way leaving their lives a bit better for knowing her and each other. She discovers on her journey that her quirky self will be missed and loved and that her life does matter. It's sweet, sad at times and uplifting. She (Grace) asks questions we think but do not say aloud sometimes. She is brave and hesitant hoping for the best and she is strong and honest, she brings out the best in those whose lives touch hers. It has some great milk out your nose laughs and it may make you cry a little, but you will enjoy the journey.

Real Life
njd-9657426 January 2018
The one word I think of when I describe this movie to friends is authentic. From watching the trailer I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. But when watching the movie and seeing the story unfold I was immediately taken with all of the main characters. The title character, Grace (an outstanding performance by newcomer Madelyn Dundon), is a pebble in a lake and the ripples of her life touch those around her. It's not too often that you see a funeral director in a film that is not a cliche, but Daniel Roebuck (who, impressively, wore 3 hats here, co-writer, star and director) gives an honest and believable portrayal of the funeral director that makes the interaction with Grace real which sets up some funny but also very tender moments. Overall, the movie is sweet, sensitive but also very funny and that speaks to the care that went in to the script that kept the story grounded in real life which, day to day, under normal circumstances, sees joy and laughter turn to tears and sorry. Some movies about a tragic death may be hard to watch, but Getting Grace is handled so beautifully, that to me, it is a movie I can't wait to share with friends. The take aways from this movie are very uplifting.

Moving and funny. It's a must see
sf-8746425 February 2018
This is a wonderful movie. It's funny and sad at times and as another reviewer stated it:s just authentic.

I think the cast was wonderfull and the story was very well written. I never thought a movie featuring a cancer patient and funeral director could be so good and move me deeply while allowing me a laugh along the way.

I will not forget this film.

Wonderful movie, excellent acting, great message
tammygoddess6 February 2018
This was a beautiful film. FUNNY, HOPEFUL, WELL ACTED, LOVELY SCRIPT! I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. The acting was excellent and it offered a great message of hope and love. There is a line in the movie about some people getting Grace, and others never will. This one line was so powerful, and if I was to choose one message from the film, this may be the one. The characters were raw, and real, and believable, as they portrayed what is certainly part of real life. The story takes you on highs and lows, with drama and a wonderful sense of humor throughout. I can easily, and highly recommend this film to my family and friends, it is just a must see! The Director and all the actors did a wonderful job - thank you for your message of hope!

Have a Heart? Then, You'll GET GRACE!
cinematicheroes2 February 2018
Veteran character actor Daniel Roebuck makes a stunning feature directorial debut with Getting Grace. And that's saying something. Not many artists can make a comedy about a girl dying of cancer, yet Roebuck totally pulls it off here. And, of course there are some heavy moments of drama that are tear-worthy here, but the comedic efforts of both Roebuck and his leading lady Madelyn Dundon playing the title character keep you smiling and laughing for the most part.

And, what a cast that Roebuck has put together here: Dundon shines in her first feature, but many other veterans of the big and small screen help form this top-notch team. Marsha Dietlein does a fine job, playing Venus, Grace's mother who does her best to love her daughter when she's not drinking to deal with it. Dana Ashbrook, perhaps best known for Twin Peaks, plays Ron a new-age author who takes Grace under his wing and into his heart.

But, perhaps the best of the supporting bunch is Duane Whitaker playing Reverend Osburn, a religious man who not only reads the Bible, but also peruses books like The Secret, as well. Seeing Whitaker, who's made a career out of playing heavies and villains - Is there a movie fan on the planet that DOESN'T remember him as Maynard in Pulp Fiction? - excel as the caring and intellectually open Reverend Osburn is refreshing. You can see how much he cares about Grace and in many ways learns from her.

But, the same could be said for Roebuck's Bill Jankowski, who has an interesting backstory of his own. I will not have any spoilers here as the film will take you in some different directions, captivating you as you get to know both Grace and Bill and see where their journey leads.

Director of Photography Cory Geryak's visuals will stun you and makes the town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania a character in itself. And, without revealing, the ending has a great payoff.

The movie is quite unique in itself - you laugh half the time when you should be crying. But, again, there are moments that will make you tear up. And, in some ways this film reminded me of the Jon Turteltaub film Phenomenon starring John Travolta. Dundon's Grace brings much of the town together in the same way that Travolta's George Malley did. And, as a result, you will be hearing a lot more from Dundon, who has been singled out on the Festival Circuit for her efforts, including Best Actress at the Northeast Film Festival.

Not many filmmakers could have pulled this material off, but Roebuck certainly does. For anyone who has a heart, Getting Grace will be for you.

A very touching movie
vijayagarwala7 March 2018
It is absolutely a beautiful and very touching movie. It covers such important ground with a wonderful story, screen play, superb acting, cinematography, music, and just about every other aspect of the movie. We had the privilege of meeting and talking to Daniel, Madelyn, and Marsha. They are so very talented and have done a phenomenal job with this most sensitive of subjects. So much packed into it and not a scene too long! I hope audience the world over gets access to this excellent movie.

If You Don't Get Grace, You Aren't Human
theatregoddess-220307 March 2018
I was lucky to be at one of the sneak peaks last night and what a BRILLIANT film this is! I know that to say "I laughed and I cried" is pretty cliche, but it was never quite so true before. This is truly a joyful comedy. Yes, Grace is a teen-aged girl dying of cancer, but the movie is so much more about how she touches the lives of those around them and teaches them to live life to its fullest. She asks all the tough questions and drags people into doing what makes them happy. Daniel Roebuck really kills it as the funeral director Bill in the story, and the fact that he also wrote, directed and produced this film is truly impressive. Madelyn Dundon is a newcomer to film and you would never know it if it weren't in the credits. She is subtle and authentic and truly delightful to watch. I am not a "laugh out loud" person yet I guffawed several times. And then suddenly, I'm crying and you are SO in love with Grace and ALL the characters who are going to miss her that by the end you can't stand to see her go. Ultimately, this is uplifting and glorious, but to say you experience all the feels is an understatement. Highly, highly, highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys life and all it brings.

Believe in Grace
grundy_man6 March 2018
I must admit that when I sat down with a large group of theatre folks who are from the town where the movie was filmed I was skeptical. It seemed a bit staged. But, in a matter of a few moments the reality of what this movie offered came into focus. Too often you hear, "I laughed, I cried" as a cliche. This movie delivers on those emotions and so much more. I am looking forward to seeing it again. I got "Grace".

Delightful!
Rileybbe5 March 2018
What a fantastic film! It was encouraging, sad, comedic and tasteful. It pulled you from a fit of laughter to reaching for your tissues from one scene to the next. They took the topics of childhood cancer and death and created a film that was thought provoking and entertaining. Danny Roebuck did a phenomenal job in writing, directing and acting in this film. The entire cast was fantastic!

A highly emotional wonderful movie
tranny-542584 March 2018
I saw the Premier of this Movie yesterday and was blown away. As a person dealing with stage 4 liver cancer(although a lot older than the kids in this movie) I was highly anticipating seeing this move and it was more than expected. It had me laughing and crying and going through a range of emotions in between. Excellent movie well worth seeing

The full gamut of human emotion
rcunniff27 January 2018
I had the pleasure of not just seeing Getting Grace at the Northeast Film Festival in New Jersey in September 2017, but also meeting the cast and watching their discussion panel.

Let me start by saying this is not my typical kind of movie (no explosions) but I was riveted from the start. Above all else it is a story of the human condition, including everything that makes us who we are: love, sadness, illness, laughter, anger, friendship, painful truths and wishful thinking.

These aren't characters, they're real people that the audience develops feelings for. I'm thankful to have been able to meet the cast - their discussion revealed that their portrayals weren't just great acting, they put their heart and souls into this film and it shows.
