Review For The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Clothes may make the man, but they most CERTAINLY make the character," Bill Nighy says. "I spend quite a lot of time fretting over what a character would wear, how he'll look." Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service As for the Marigold Hotel, well, it's not the Delano. But overall it's a fine spot to spend a couple of hours. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald Basically, there's just too much crammed into "Marigold Hotel" for any of it to have impact. It may work as comfort food for old folks, but a bit less may have yielded a great deal more. Tom Long-Detroit News The movie itself is a mawkish comedy-drama-romance, but the astounding cast makes it feel like a night on the West End. Rafer Guzman-Newsday The old pros elevate Hotel's otherwise pat screenplay into that sweet spot where predictability fails to negate pleasure. William Goss-Film.com They're stuck with a script, by Ol Parker, that's stuffed with contrivance and cliché, and doggedly repetitive as it tracks its characters' efforts to find new love and adapt to new surroundings. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel could do deemed The Expendables of mature, well-regarded British screen actors. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor Even at its most arm-twistingly obvious, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ultimately ended up leaving me somewhere close to smitten. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth If you like films about travel, if you like watching film legends work together, you might want to check into "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." Consummate professionals and some sharp writing and interesting cinematography make it worth the trip. James Plath-Movie Metropolis It would be churlish to condemn The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in its entirety. It delivers some real laughs and offers brilliant performances from an experienced cast; just don't expect anything you haven't seen before. Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire It may not be a particularly memorable film, but it's a joy to watch so much talent on the screen. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Almost exactly what I expected (with a few very nice twists), and you know what? That's just fine. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) If all you want to see is talented British performers of a certain age, then 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is for you. If you want something surprising, perhaps with a bit of an edge, then you'll have to look elsewhere. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) I went, as I imagine many people will, for some Quality Dame Time and I got it so I shouldn't complain... Nathaniel Rogers-Film Experience Penelope Wilton, as the sourpuss among the group, takes top honors. She is the only one who refuses to be taken in by the cheap exoticism and trite affirmations that Hotel offers its guests. Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com Perhaps only one of the stories rises above cliche, but they are all told well with the total being more than the sum of the parts Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews Everything in Ol Parker's screenplay plays out in gently predictable fashion. It's up to the delightful cast, and to the light touch of director John Madden, to bring life and warmth. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune This mixture of comedy and drama works because of the very talented cast. Some of the dialog is quite good, too. It is also nice to see an intelligent movie aimed at adults for a change. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope The acting talent elevates a run of the mill story to grander heights Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com Even if the film's amenities are wildly uneven, there's enough fun and poignancy in it to earn the property three stars. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) Made with precision and verve, this retiree comedy uses veteran actors to bring out the joys and heartbreaks of a life-changing stay in a disheveled Indian hotel. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) The wonderful cast manages to find nuggets of laughter, hope and sadness in a story about the notion that being older doesn't mean you lose your zest for life. Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly What makes this film work is not the predictable plot and characters. It's the acting. The movie has a special cast. Even though they often are given pat sequences, the actors are crown-jewel professionals, and their talent glimmers through. Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net A great exercise in British acting. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews The Avengers for the elderly demographic, it's harmless, undemanding piffle. It's a worthy sentiment to graciously offer a film for moviegoers both young and old who might not know a Hulk from a Thing. It's just a shame the result isn't a better movie.
