Review of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015) by Kurt F — 21 Feb 2016

2/20/16 I have to say, I just hate this type of film. It is supposed to be a character study of all these different personalities, but I see through it all. It is completely obvious to me that someone is following a formula to try to make this a "cute" movie.

There is the stubborn old lady, the dumb young guy, the old charmer, etc. The whole movie just comes across as "fake" to me. The strong cast created a couple interesting moments, but that is why it got one star instead of zero.

Oh, and it didn't help that it was a movie in India, so they had to have the required, "happy Indian dance scene" at the end. To me, this just lended more proof that this script was written as a formula.
