Amazing Grace is a clean comedy that may not be anything extraordinary but is still a pleasant watch

I recently watched Amazing Grace (1974) on Tubi. The storyline follows an older lady who moves to Baltimore right next door to a black up and coming political official. The old lady over hears some corrupt behavior at her neighbors and decides to try and get more details to release to the public to ensure the right leadership is in charge of Baltimore.

This movie is directed by Stan Lathan (Beat Street) and stars Jackie "Moms" Mabley (Boarding House Blues), Slappy White (Sanford and Son), Moses Gunn (Shaft), Rosalind Cash (The Omega Man) and Debbi Morgan (Eve's Bayou).

Amazing Grace offers good, wholesome comedy and presents a relatable, authentic main character. It feels like a comedy your grandmother would have written and brought to life. The situations depicted in the film are a mix of hits and misses, wildly unrealistic at times, but still enjoyable to watch unfold. Jackie "Moms" Mabley's facial expressions and body language are perfect, leaving a smile on your face throughout the film. Moses Gunn excels as the villain, and Rosalind Cash's gorgeous presence adds to the film's charm.

In conclusion, Amazing Grace is a clean comedy that may not be anything extraordinary but is still a pleasant watch. I would rate this a 5/10 and recommend giving it a watch.

Goofs
When Grace boards the train at the beginning of the film, she wears a white shawl over her shoulders while she says goodbye to her family from the door, but it's gone in the next scene as she enters the train car and is not seen when she debarks the train or during the cab ride home.
