Movie Review : The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Thursday, September 20, 2012


As I have explained I have seen so many movies over the past week that I am busting at the seams to tell you about them all.

Tonight I want to go over


The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel


Here's what the movie is about..



he Best Exotic Marigold Hotel follows a group of British retirees who decide to "outsource" their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past. -- (C) Fox Searchlight



It was late when I watched this.. I wanted a colorful magical kind of movie.  It either watching - Jackson's Lorax movie, AGAIN or take a chance on this one. I personally love BOTH Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. I also like Tom Wilkinson.

At the beginning of the movie it pretty much goes into the lives of all the older people.. and why are retiring to India. Judi Dench ( face on the trailer ) tells her son that if he wants to keep up her.. read her blog... just long in and read her news! How awesome is that!? I love it! Another quote from this movie I love is when the two guys are talking about it.. one said - Its like Florida then - .. the other guy replied . -yea, but with more elephants. So as the movie progressed.. I found myself really enjoying this movie. The cast was amazing. I ended up really enjoying this movie. Most of them were grumpy in the beginning of their journey but each one of them finds their way in their new way of life. 

Here's the trailer.. 


I am giving this movie 

simply because I liked every part of the movie. Every part.

It made me dream about this for husby and I. How charming would it be to just go abroad to what would seem to be a cheaper way of life but so rich in other ways.
Very good movie that's worth watching.. BTW.. this is more of an adult flim.. teen boppers won't like this! 
But its really good.

  1. The happy ending of this movie really made me cry!

    I have always found it funny that so called "feel good" movies make me cry more than ones designed to make me sad!!

    Love Rie x
