Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - a short review

We thoroughly enjoyed this film. It is beautifully shot bringing out the colours and vibrancy of the life of an Indian city. The story line follows the gentle but life changing experiences of a group of English pensioners who are outsourced for their retirement to India!
It was an optimistic, feel good film that preached the message that it is never too late to change and do something new, exciting and different. The heavyweight all star cast was superb. The humour was very English and the sentimental bits gave you a warm glow without being too slushy or gushing.
The characters were somewhat stereotypical and the plot predictable but that didn't matter. It was two hours of enjoyment that kept my attention throughout the entire film. It is not an artistic masterpiece nor a classic that film buffs will rave about but for pure entertainment value I would say it is the best film I have seen this year.
