Theme Of This Movie:
Seven elderly Britons, for a variety of reasons, respond to an online ad
and travel to Jaipur, India, where they find run-down hotel with a
young, exuberant, and optimistic host. Evelyn, newly widowed, wants
low-cost experience, Graham seeks a long-ago love, Douglas and Jean have
lost their pension in a family investment, Muriel needs cheap hip
surgery, Madge seeks a rich husband, and Norman is chasing women. India
affects each in different ways, enchanting Douglas and Evelyn while
driving Jean deeper into bitterness. Their host, young Sonny, has dreams
but little cash or skill; he also has a girlfriend whom his mother
dismisses. Stories cross and discoveries await each one

Movie Reviews:
Marigold
Hotel was overall a very pleasant film with a distinct feel-good factor
- helped by the vibrancy of the Indian setting. Judi Dench is excellent
as always, and Bill Nighy really captures the child within for this
film. In fact, all of the cast were superb, although Dev Patel suffered
from a little overacting! The plot is more like a moral, and explores a
'young at heart' theme throughout. I think the vision of the film is
somewhat confused at times. It seems to shift from a full-on comedy to a
film about ageism, and it doesn't flow as well as one would hope. Also,
Maggie Smith's character (although superbly played) is a slightly far
fetched transformation, so I would have liked to see more focus on her
throughout the film. Overall though, a nice, entertaining piece of work.
Perhaps not as good as you would expect from such a star-studded cast,
but nevertheless, very entertaining!
