THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL


Plot:

With the success of their current Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, business partners Sonny Kapoor (Patel) and Muriel Donnelly (Smith) head to the states to meet with possible investors to help them with opening their Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in India. Upon the return to their hotel Sonny not only under pressure awaiting the arrival of a hotel scout to approve the loan but must prepare for his wedding in a few days to his lovely fiance, while the original Marigold tenants deal with the various issues that they are all faced with.


Reel Talk:

Dev Patel and Maggie Smith along with the other original cast members from the 2011 movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel return for another go round and this time Richard Gere and Tamsin Greig are added to the mix. This one continues to show that there is still life in these seasoned and aged actors and actresses as  well as further showcase the beauty of the Indian culture. Although it is an entertaining film it is not as good as the original, it is just too much going on to just focus on any one thing. And when Gere dances, that was a definite no no. Overall if you liked the first one you will enjoy this one also. A feel good movie worth the bucks.
