The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

...starts out just as predictably but around halfway through, the culture-clash clichés suddenly run out, and the whole thing swerves off in an unexpected and rewarding direction.

...guarantees a relatively thoughtful meditation on growing older, albeit one sometimes couched in sitcom sentimentality.

An entirely charming extension of the most unlikely franchise, gently handling big themes and dissolving cynicism with laughter.

...there’s a vast (and deserved) reservoir of affection for the cast, and the ramshackle but likable results will go down well with a cup of tea...

Det er den slags film, der er inspirerende for både ældre og dem, der ved, at de engang bliver det.

…en ovanligt upplyftande och härlig feelgood-film för egentligen vilken åldersgrupp som helst.
