Just perfect...

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

What a lovely gem of a movie! The beautiful scenery and architecture of Jaipur alone makes it worth watching. Interesting story and excellent acting as well. I've watched it 3 times already. The only thing I didn't like was the Indian lad (actually British) who over-acted and was quite unbelievable and annoyingly unfunny. The rest of the cast were simply superb. I intend to watch it a few more times. Love love love this little gem!

I had no idea, just how good this film would be and one of those I'd always bypassed in the past. With a fantastic all star cast, the film deals with each individuals circumstances whilst providing some great comedic lines along the way, loved it!!!

This truly is a unique film and I am so glad to have come by it. I really don't need to give any plot descriptions because this says it enough. What's great is that we deal with so many characters who are so unique in their own ways. It's great to see a movie about the romantic lives of the elderly. Through all this, the mostly younger audience still has a character to associate with, Sonny. He's probably the most interesting character here and it's great to see the main Indian character interact with the British folk. What's truly nice is his relationship with his girlfriend and how he defies the arranged marriage his family puts him up to it. You would be surprised at how often those still happen in real life, especially in India.It also helps that the setting is so beautiful. Seeing as how it has such a high population, we really should be aware of India and its massive impact on the rest of the world. It's just great to see all the people walking around, swimming and relishing in their culture. There are so many different kinds of problems that these characters come across. It's probably the first movie to feature an elderly man coming out of the closet. One of the characters dies and others have trouble with their sex lives. Everyone is just so charming and authentic in this.I felt like the pacing was great too. It really gets better in the second half as we get more conflict and more characters reacting. More or less, it works out. These people don't even look that old, but maybe that's because these actors are so active. ***1/2 out of ****.

This movie points out the plot early. An elderly woman in the UK needs a hip replacement. If she stays in the UK, she has to wait 6 months to even start the process plus it is expensive. If she wants faster cheaper service she can go outsource her operation to India.The Marigold Hotel is in India and does not turn out to be what is advertised. It is "what we hope to be in the future." Where the plot gets muddled is that they go to India for faster service and wind up staying long term at the hotel.The comedy here is British, often subtle, and definitely understated.. There is some mild racism with one character. A little comedy with sexual references, and some mild jokes, many of which I have heard before.Because of the cast and the circumstances I enjoyed the film. The India scenes were very much like the ones in 007 film Octopussy, years prior. Overall, a fun movie to watch.
