Based on the novel "These Foolish Things" by Deborah Moggach, this comedy focusses on a group of British retirees who are enticed by advertisements to travel to India to stay at the Marigold Hotel, which has been restored as a retirement home by a young Indian man (Dev Patel) with the best of intentions. 

 

However, when they arrive, they find the living accommodations aren't quite as luxurious as portrayed in the brochure. Despite having to cope with broken furniture, phones that don't work and food they can't pronounce, they share a number of unconventional but hilarious experiences that bring them closer together.

Cute feel good movie

Not a bad movie.. A good evening if you have nothing else to do, but don't expect to be captivated. You'll have a few good chuckles

Great movie

This was a great movie, and much different to the usual "hotel stories". I especially enjoyed the guests' mixed views about India :-)

The movie has a special cast

What makes this film work is not the predictable plot and characters. It's the acting. The movie has a special cast. Even though they often are given pat sequences, the actors are crown-jewel professionals, and their talent glimmers through.

Incredible performances

In was initially reticent to watch this movie but my lovely wife twisted my arm and dragged me into the movie house. This movie was awesome!! A phenomonal cast of performers and a unique storyline. The director managed to capture the true essence of India, from the tuk-tuks to the little kids playing cricket on the streets. Well worth buying the DVD.
