THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL


The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel stars Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. Around these two women, the rest of the ensemble revolve. Fans of Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Dev Patel, Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup, and Penelope Wilton, will love this movie about a group of aging Brits who stay at a run-down hotel in India. Based on the 2004 novel, These Foolish Things, by Deborah Moggach, the film offers fun and some serious moments. John Madden, director of Shakespeare in Love, keeps things moving. A light, but entertaining movie. GRADE: B+

    I saw this last Friday and loved it.
    This is one instance where I can’t imagine the book is better than the movie. I think the full impact of the culture shock of India has to be seen to be appreciated.
    I’ll definitely be buying this DVD.

    We both liked it a lot, though I can tell you it did not make Jackie want to go to India. Beautiful scenery, and yes – that most definitely includes Tena Desae as the beautiful Sunaina. Jackie pointed out that Dev Patel is not that good looking but he sure ends up with gorgeous women in the movies!
