The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a silly name for a film but it is truly an exceptional film that features some of the best British actors. The film stars Dame Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Penelope Wilton, Liza Tarbuck, and Ronald Pickup. It is a fun and delightful film.

The seven principal characters of this film have all come to a point in their lives, where remaining in the UK is no longer feasible, mostly due to financial reasons. Each has stumbled across a brochure outlining the wonderful possibilities that await them in India at a newly refurbished Marigold Hotel. Enrollment into the hotel facilities includes the flight to India as well. However, upon arrival; it seems that the facilities are far less luxurious than advertise.

The film follows each individual through his or her path of awakening; for each individual has come to India for a different reason. This film has good acting, is well scripted, and is well directed. The Indian backdrop for this film is exotic. I highly recommend this film.
