Review of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) by David C — 19 Mar 2013
The movie is predictable and tries too hard to be uplifting and touching, but it's hard not to like it. I am a pushover for relatively intelligent films that feature likable characters played by likable actors, so I can forgive a little excess sentimentality.
The cast is made up of approximately every senior British thespian who has appeared in an international blockbuster in recent years, including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Penelope Wilton, and Bill Nighy.
Alongside Dev Patel of the Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire," these stars embrace the good-natured hoakiness of the story and make it, if not believable, a fun and memorable diversion.
