Terrific Performances from a Great Cast
"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"  is a joy for those who love veteran thespians who can act up a storm.  A group of English retirees decide to relocate to a seniors hotel in Darpur, India, to live a relaxing life of leisure.  Unfortunately, the hotel turns out to be a dive -- rundown, dreary, and depressing.<br /><br />The characters are a lot more colorful and interesting than the plot.  Tom Wilkinson plays gay magistrate Graham Dashwood, who has returned to India to find the boy he loved and left when he was young.  Bill Nighy is retired bureaucrat Douglas Ainslie with an irritating, constantly complaining wife (Penelope Wilton), whose savings have been lost by a daughter's careless investment.  Judi Dench is recent widow Evelyn Greenslade, who has never before looked after herself.  Maggie Smith is Muriel Donnelly, an unapologetic racist in need of a hip replacement.  And Celia Imrie is Madge Hardcastle, a gold digger still very much on the prowl.<br /><br />The film attempts to tell too many stories simultaneously, which gives it an overstuffed feel.  But it's unusual to have a movie these days reliant on Golden Agers, and it's a pleasure watching these superb actors sinking their teeth into sometimes underwritten characters and enlivening them with years of experience.<br /><br />Once the principal characters are assembled and disappointed by what they find, director John Madden provides their back stories.  There are many cliches and maybe too neat an ending, but the performances more than make up for the script's shortcomings.  Personally speaking, I would be happy to watch Maggie Smith peel an apple.  She is, at this point in her carrer, legendary and a master at her craft.<br /><br />Available on both DVD and Blu-ray, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"  bonus extras consist of only behind-the-scenes footage and some location interviews.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : The film follows a group of British retirees who decide to "outsource" their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure; they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined; they are forever transformed by their shared experiences; discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past..
