Review of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015) by Dave C — 04 Mar 2016

A rare sequel that fixes and improves upon the shortcomings of the original. In giving each of the characters their own story rather than focusing on different reactions to a common experience, it manages to hold interest throughout and gives everyone a chance to shine.

Some of the happenings do stretch credibility a tad, but to its credit, the one sub-plot you'll think you have figured out, you'll still be partially wrong about. Far from perfect, but comes closer to the unreserved joy that the original missed out on.
