    "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is first class
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017*

It is rare - too rare - in this day and age to find a movie that features an entire cast of actors who are true masters of their craft.Instead, we are too often bombarded by films that feature visually stunning special effects that mask mediocre performances and sub-par writing.That is decidedly not the case in "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." This is a film that features a virtual all-star team of actors, an exotic (and very colorful) locale, and some very fine writing. It is a story about growing old with as much grace as possible while discovering that love is not the strict province of the young.Because this is a sequel, there are some critics who have said this movie does not live up to the high bar set by "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." I think they are wrong in doing so for this is a separate movie. True, it has virtually the same cast and takes place in the same locale, however, it is its own film with its own objectives. Its purpose is not just to carry the story forward but also to explore new themes.For example, three of the hotel's residents have rejoined the working world while another couple struggles with the challenge of living in a monogamous relationship when conventional wisdom assumes that they are long past the age at which this question even arises. The residents must also cope with cross-cultural differences, the toll that aging takes on not only the body but also the mind, and the heightened awareness of their own mortality.The story revolves around two main issues: The impending wedding of hotel owner Sonny (played by Dev Patel) and his fiancee (played by Tina Desai) and his efforts to buy and develop a second residence for older men and women. As part of his efforts to secure a loan for the second property, he must cope with an undercover inspector sent by the corporation that he is asking for financial backing. That leads to some unexpected - and often charming - consequences not only for Sonny but also for the other residents of the hotel and his widowed mother.Joining the cast for this movie are Richard Gere and Tamsin Grieg. Both blend in beautifully with A-listers Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and the rest of the cast that returned for this sequel. I make a point of that because it's not always easy to do so, especially given the huge success of the first film.The cinematography is excellent, giving viewers a real sense of what it is like to live and work in modern India and the direction is sure handed. I am a writer by profession and am often overly critical of movie scripts but I must admit I had no issues with this one. The story moves along in a smooth, well-reasoned fashion and the plot - while a little convoluted - is well imagined. The dialogue is often hilarious but throughout the movie the actors are given ample opportunity to express a wide range of emotions.For my money, this is a 5-star film and one that I will enjoy watching many times over the course of the next few years.

    Darn good sequel to a super movie
  

*by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019*

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is one of our favorite movies at home.  The script is brilliant.  The acting, direction, and filming created a memorable movie we have been happy to revisit many times.  A number of quotable lines are staples of conversations at home.We wondered if The SECOND Best Exotic Marigold Hotel could match it.  Sequels are often disappointing.On the whole, Number Two succeeds on its own, and as a sequel.  It weaves together several good stories, with some continuing from the first movie while others have fresh starts.  There is a theme of growth, progress, maturing and success that goes beyond the first movie.In practice, now, whenever we watch the first movie we also watch the second.  That's a good measure of the success of the second movie.I hope that's somehow helpful.  Anyway, we liked it quite a lot.

    HIGHLY recommend!

Most follow up movies are not as good as the first hit. This is comparing apples and oranges a bit but both these Marigold Hotel movies are FEEL GOOD entertainment. The first a group of English retirees head to India to try to live in better comfort on reduced circumstances and arrive at their prepaid ramshackled hotel run by a Pie In the Sky dreamer. Learning to adjust and acclimate requires effort but for most pays off. This is the second follow up and the entire first cast, including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nigh,...then add Mr Gere and one ladies upon seeing him utters Bless my Ovaries...the raciest remark in either movie. The colors , customs, music and dancing are so uplifting and various plots very endearing that the youngsters wedding is the big climax. Indian weddings are legendary . Be sure to watch the Extra bits ...fun hearing the stars talk about the thrill of all coming together again, reactions to Richard Gere, and their love of how the Indians reacted to them returning to film again. This is a movie that can lift your spirits whenever you have " one of those days" ...great script and actors we all know and love. Buy it!
