No expectations to fall short.
That was the case last week when I took my folks to see THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. I knew nothing about the film and when my mum mentioned it was set in India, I was hooked!
So that's all I knew: the location.
And what a rollicking good time I had.
I laughed out loud continuously throughout the movie, though it isn't a comedy per se.
It's a poignant 'fish out of water' story about English retirees 'outsourced' to a rundown hotel in India.
Each character has a satisfying growth arc from start to finish, with plenty of romance thrown in for good measure.
With an all-star cast and excellent acting, I dare anyone not to enjoy this feel-good film.
My rating: 8/10

I am so desperate to see this movie! All my favourites actors and actresses. :)
Liz, you will love it!
The actors/actresses really take this story to the next level.
Superb acting!
One thing I love about English actors/actresses/films is their down to earth quality.
Very appealing.
I am really hoping to see this movie and also Salmon Fishing in the Yemen while I have a few days off work.
Saw the trailer for Salmon Fishing before this movie, Marg, it looks wonderful!
