Cute Movie

Last night on Netflix I watched "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" - was cute. Not knee slapping funny but a pleasant enough movie to pass a night. Sometime ago I watched the "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" with stars Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson.

Rather reminded me of how Little Britain must've been during its glory years :)

Good film though.

I have watched both films and enjoyed them both, great actors especially the ladies, a little sad in the sequel, but a lot of nostalgia. :up

I quite enjoyed #1 and should have re-watched it before watching the sequal as I didn't refresh me on some of the lesser characters. It was a nice relaxing film though.

if you enjoyed the exotic marigolds, you will probably also enjoy a film called quartet, about a private nursing home for retired musicians. It reminded me of marigold in its style and again, has some very well known faces in it.

@Robbo - I found "Quartet" on Netflix here. Started out quite well and "Maggie's" introduction was nice as was the grand finale - BUT BUT BUT - :( :( :( I missed the entire middle of the movie as I :( :( dozed off :(

Going to have to give it another try as I fell asleep and missed most of the show. Last I remember was Maggie Smith arriving and waving to everybody who was clapping at her entrance and then ZZZZzzzzzz.

Looks good though - just me in my dotage nodding off ;)
