2011's THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is a feast of strong acting by some of the best in the business. An all-star cast, including some of my faves like Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson & Maggie Smith star as seniors who all arrive in India looking for either retirement, a fresh start or adventure. Young hotel owner Dev Patel's strongest hotel management skills involve photoshop, as the hotel they arrive at is a far cry from the one imagined online. As they adapt to this different world, they find new love, connect with past loved ones (an especially strong storyline featuring Wilkinson, but not the one you'd expect) and find new qualities in themselves. Director John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) is in fine form and has an incredible palette to work with in his cast. By turns funny, sweet, sad, hilarious and deeply moving, you will want to check into the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It's a masterclass in acting and charms it's way to an A.
