Review of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015) by Edwin P — 28 Aug 2015

The original began and ended with stories revolving around a group of retirees. Those were sweet and at the least, interesting. This sequel focuses more on the younger set of characters. While there is nothing to dislike here, there is not enough to like about it either.

The story that revolves around the younger characters is very weak and offers a very thin line for the older actors to hang on to and expand on the characters they had previously established. The original is where all this should have ended as the sequel does not provide anything meaningful in terms of character arc.
