The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Movie Synopsis

A group of British retirees are enticed by advertisements to travel to India to stay at the Marigold Hotel, which has been restored as a retirement home by a young Indian man (Dev Patel) with the best of intentions.

However, when they arrive, they find the living accommodations aren't quite as luxurious as portrayed in the brochure. Despite having to cope with broken furniture, phones that don't work and food they can't pronounce, they share a number of unconventional but hilarious experiences that bring them closer together.

Based on the novel "These Foolish Things" by Deborah Moggach.

  a few laughs but generally slow and methodical. the older generation may relate to the movie but would hardly be excited by it.

  oh best movie i have seen in a long long time and i saw the avengers too. if you're a boomer it will make you lol and cry too...very life affirming and deep and light hearted at the same time..a must see ..i'd see it again

  this was one of the best feel good movies i've seen in a long time. it hits every aspect of life including aging, depression, loneliness, financial ruin, meeting new people in a totally foreign area even being gay people....go see it!
