Very well executed

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

After a long time i have seen something which gave a great pleasure. At first, i was overwhelmed by the cast but it turns out they managed to do their part very very well. Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Ronald Pickup, Celia Imrie, Tom Wilkinson every one of them was splendid. The movie was a mixture of adventure, culture and obviously fun. It is highly recommended.

Sweet and naive J.Dench or sour - faced cynical M.Smith?That is the question. Both these formidable ladies play to their strengths here,comfortably stealing the film without breaking sweat. Although messrs Nighy and Pickup deliver their customary performances they are whistling into the wind. This is a slight tale of British pensioners retiring to live in India. Some find it Iiberating,,others vexing. There is nothing particularly entertaining or surprising on show but it is unobjectionable,almost soporific in tone. Quite why "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" has attracted such attention is not obvious to me. The apparent popularity of "Bollywood" to the main stream may account for this fascination,coupled with a jollop of post - colonial guilt . I can't help feeling that a more accurate picture of the British abroad can be gauged from "Benidorm". What The Garveys would make of Jaipur might be very different.

remarkable actors. and the right role for each. India in slices. and inspired puzzle of small personal stories. and, sure, atmosphere. a film who seems use as basic ingredient magic. because it transforms the characters in next door neighbors. because it propose portrait of ages, expectations, meetings and decisions in a delicate, precise manner. because it is that kind of parables who present yourself for the generous purpose to define life in its small pieces. because it is a trip in a universe who becomes more and more familiar. not exactly a story. but a fascinating puzzle who reminds old oracles. and the magnificent art and force and science of detail of each performance. humor. bitter in many occasions. and the air of freedom.obvious, must see it ! see

Most reviews are dissing the movie are right. It is utterly, and most cliché-ladenly predictable. And there in lies the sweetness of writing or directing fiction.Everything that can be said about the human condition has already been said by the literary greats. What a writer of fiction can only do is re-visit the themes, because, as common place as love and heartbreak seem, the first time they happen to you seems like the first time they are happening in the history of mankind.And this movie grandly, sweetly, gloriously, and charmingly captures the uniqueness of predictability that befalls the human suffering. And the cast. What could be said of a cast that hasn't been said before? Other than that they kick super-hero butt just by being in the frame?Movies like these are the ultimate reason for celluloid to exist. To bring to the non-readers of world the slow discovery of emotions that move the soul.What a watch!
