Loved the first movie and enjoyed the sequel as well. It's probably more suited to adults, especially older adults who will resonate with the trials and tribulations of the characters in this film. But, it is filled with a positive spin on how to deal with aging, limited finances, and the craziness of friends and family.

It's incredible cast is partly what makes this so charming. Judi Dench and Bill NIghy certain light up the screen. Maggie Smith adds her acerbic form of humor and Seema Azmi and Tina Desai are both quite wonderful. The addition of Richard Gere was unexpected and his performance was really so so.

It is very warm, uplifting and charming in every way. Can't wait to see the third installment, if there is one.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it's making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone's secrets.
