The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

British director John Madden's third reunion with the magnificent Judi Dench proves a blessing for the director who finally delivers after several missteps. A group of British elderly with diminishing options for their twilight years embark on an exotic journey to India with surprising consequences. While the script is formula driven with plenty of recycled cliches about the elderly and India, the film succeeds because of its stellar cast and unbeatable locations. The terrific ensemble includes Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Tom Wilkinson amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
