I like Viktor's metric -- it speaks volumes about some of the web frameworks out there. I can honestly say though that Grails is without a doubt the easiest framework to get started with. Spring ROO would come second.
Since there's a short deadline, and the project seems to be a basic CRUD application, you should be able to get a usable version of your app running within a day or two. I would recommend getting "Grails In Action" to help you get started. If you can't find it in a nearby bookstore, the eBook version works just as well.
