Review: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (4 Stars)

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

It opened in NYC on February 24, but finally made it to Indianapolis. Here's the story: A group of British retirees (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy) decide to "outsource" their retirement to exotic -- and less expensive -- India. Lured by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel, and imagining a life of leisure in lush surroundings, they arrive to find that the Marigold is actually a shell of its former self. Though their new home is not quite what they had imagined, the retirees find that life and love can begin again when they let go of their pasts. Cast: Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel. ★★★★
