This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Daniel Roebuck nailed it with this movie. It makes you laugh and cry. The entire cast was excellent. The best thing is that he filmed this in his home town of Bethlehem, PA and surrounding cities. To see all of our local landmarks in the film was wonderful. More movies should be made in small towns like this to help the local tourism and economy.

It's a quirky, uplifting, unique comedy about the impending death of teenage girl. It's story comes at you from an angle you wouldn't expect for such a heavy subject. That brave choice by Daniel Roebuck, who wrote, directed and starred as the awkward funeral director, really works though!You leave the theater feeling great as it ultimately celebrates life, takes the fear out of dying and shows you that attitude is indeed more important than circumstances. You don't have to let the negative things of life steal anymore from you than they have to.I also must note that are some amazing performances here especially from Madelyn Dundon as Grace and a powerful dramatic performance from Marsha Dietlein Bennett as her mom battling her own demons of alcohol as she struggles to cope. I believe young Madelyn Dundon will be a rising star to watch in coming years. A talented breath of fresh air who is a joy to watch on screen. Couldn't help but think this movie is the beginning of a great career for her like Mystic Pizza was for a young Julia Roberts.Getting Grace is an honest slice of life with an amazing top spin of positivity with what is possible if you face things bravely, with great grace and lots of love. I highly recommend you see this movie!

I really enjoyed this film! It has so much heart and is such a wonderfully touching story. You'll laugh.... a lot, and cry... a lot. I'm extremely impressed with the actress playing Grace, she did such a wonderful job in a difficult role and really set the tone for the entire film. The entire cast play beautifully off each other and you really care for each of them. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a really solid heartfelt film - which is something that doesn't seem to be made much anymore, so I'm glad this one exists!

A feel good movie about cancer? Yes. Sensitively directed by veteran actor Daniel Roebuck and superbly acted by his talented cast, Getting Grace took me on a surprising ride. One moment I was welling up with tears; the next moment, I was laughing out loud. To see how Grace's courage positively transforms the lives of those she loves is inspiring to behold. Strongly recommend!
