| The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel is a comedy about a group of
aging Brits who decide (for financial and health
problems) to spend their golden years in India, led
astray by fraud advertising for this hotel for sale.
On arrival they discover that the place falls short of the romantic dream promised in the brochure. This is a delightful movie for the older crowd. What makes it work is the English characters that were brought to life by top-notch able actors who give this film substance -- making it enjoyable and fun to watch. |
Seven English retirees can
only afford what is promised in the brochure -- a
luxury retirement hotel in India-- but what they
find at The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is not
everything that was promised. Each finds a brand new world in a funny, charming, and beautifully directed film. With this many outstanding actors, how could you go wrong? |
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is
one of those comfortable, harmless British films
that attempts a fairly good, interesting, and
amusing two hours without providing material that
could be explained as edgy or stimulating. The unusual thing about this production is that the youngest member of the seven characters is 60 years old. It is rare for a flick to depend on such an elderly cast. Although a little youth is thrown in, they are only supporting characters. For those who have a special attraction for lighthearted predictable drama featuring some of the best actors working in the UK, this picture might be for you. |
