All adults (regardless of age) will appreciate this film. If you've been on a different planet recently and haven't seen the numerous TV adverts - It is about a bunch of retirees looking for an alternative retirement by emigrating to India and residing in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful. The whole film is hilariously funny and really tells it like it is by highlighting the fact of how old people are treated in England in comparison with India. The cast is full of strong characters. Maggie Smith's character in need of a hip replacement delivers some corkers with her cockney accent, and another classic moment is when Judi Dench teaches the Indian call centre a thing or two! There is just one laugh after another with all the characters. What a great story! Well written and produced. Don't miss it!
We saw the preview of this film and think it is the best film we both had seen in a very long time. It is not only aimed at the older members of the family, and it is a very funny film with its more serious side.
The critics slated this film..... just goes to show what they know! The whole crowded cinema loved this, it was one laugh out loud moment after another and everyone was praising it to the skies on the way out. It is very thought provoking too - what are we going to do as we get older and the thought of a soulless 'care home' makes our blood run cold? Have a hanky ready for tears of laughter and a bit of sadness too. I guarantee you will love this film.
quite enjoyed this film, parts were a bit boring and film could hav been made shorter but was an alright feel good film. the type of film u could sit down and watch with your mum after sunday dinner!! :o)
Maybe I expected too much, Great reviews, great cast, great idea. But for me it fell flat. It had some humour, but hardly hilarious. This kind of film relies on a deep understanding of the characters background and relationships So you can see how they change and develop but this was brushed over quite quickly. It could have been set anywhere as there was no real interaction with the locals, they didn't help them, muck in or get to understand them. I felt the whole film was rather disjointed, not funny enough and lacking depth and empathy. If I hadn't read about it and so expecting more, I may have enjoyed it more.
