The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
A group of British senior citizens journey to India to take up residence in a resort hotel advertised as a luxury facility for retirees. Each has issues to resolve and the resort turns out to be less than advertised.
'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is a deliciously funny film, one of the funniest I have seen in many a year. Like all good British comedies it has a serious side and some sad moments. Cs laughed so loudly and so long during the film that I feared I might miss the ensuing humorous situations. The film runs a tightrope and I feared that some of the plot resolutions might take the easy way out but for the most part the integrity of the film is maintained to the end.
If, like me, you are a senior citizen or even older you will find much to relate to in this film. Some of the set ups in the opening scenes are classic. If you are younger, well hopefully, you will get the humour.

Right up our alley. We saw the trailer for it and marked it as a must see.

ReplyDeleteAndrew, this is a rare film where there are funnier moments in it than are revealed in the trailer.
