The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a fun film but it is also incredibly frustrating at points. JAMIE MATHIESON may be a walking stereotype, but he ain’t got nothing on this movie. The two movies about The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012 and 2015) were directed by John Madden.

The only one missing was traffic being blocked by a nonchalant cow.Every one of our actors are absolute pros who do a perfectly decent job despite being, especially in the case of Judi Dench, egregiously, horribly, appallingly miscast. For more comic-relief there is also Ronald Pickup and Celia Imrie, who both enjoy some excellent one-liners and are fun to watch.

!It means you wouldn’t have to pay rent if uni is cancelled There’s going to be slugs, that’s just a fact of life x Starring a cast of famous British older actors, the narratives are set in a faded hotel in India. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is supposed to be India’s answer for the UK’s most elegant retirees – a place where they can spend their golden years surrounded by lush amenities – that is, until seven retirees who are in need of a transformation find themselves on the front steps of the not-quite-ready resort.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – review 2 / 5 stars 2 out of 5 stars.
