The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)


Summary: IMDB
British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways.

Another short review. A really touching movie about expats in India and British retirees who all retire to a residential hotel (Exotic Marigold Hotel) for various reasons. Lots of star power in this - Judi Dench, Maggie Smith etc and really good performances. I really enjoyed this film and found it very touching. I also enjoyed the scenery and sights and sounds of India. Worth seeing in the theater for the grandness of India but I think it will be out of the theaters soon. I also really loved the music in the sound track.

IMDB for cast and credits:

Overall rating:
Enjoyable and touching.

Recommend:
Sure.

Warnings:
Some poverty shown in India.
