Title: Be surprised and entertained
Review: Lovely movie. Or, if I am reviewing the delivery it was all fine: on time and with care. The movie is better than fairytale: a group of strangers overcomes obstacles to archive their last glimpse at a glorious hope. And we are left with this saying: 'Everything will be fine at the end, and if it is not fine - it is not the end!'

Title: Mixed up trailers ...
Review: The trailers for "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and its sequel are mixed up here in Prime Video. The one attached to the first is actually for the second, and the one attached to the second is actually for the first. Proceed accordingly ...

Title: A Nice Movie
Review: This is not a great movie, but it's worth watching at least once. If you love these actors, it may be worth purchasing instead of renting so you can watch it a second time.

Title: "Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not the end."
Review: After seeing the film the week of its release, I waited for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to become available on DVD, and had to place an order for this true gem. My immediate reaction had been that this is a movie that I wanted to see over and again, if just for the pure pleasure in seeing people who can prove that it's good to be over sixty and be able to explore new horizons. For me, this is unquestionably one of the best movies of the year.Director John Madden's comedy about English retirees in India is a fascinating mix of both the familiar and the exotic. Ol Parker's screenplay is an adaptation from British author Deborah Moggach's book These Foolish Things (2004), and the casting is true perfection. It begins in the UK with brief sketches of seven British senior citizens, which sets the stage.We find Evelyn Greenslade (Judi Dench) on the phone in her London flat, trying to communicate with a robotic operator at an Indian call center. She's a recent widow and is forced to sell her home after learning that her deceased husband had misused their life savings. It's Evelyn's blog entries, read aloud as narrative, that set the film's timeline.There's Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith), a xenophobic, crabby shrew, a never-married retired housekeeper bound to her wheelchair. She needs a hip replacement, and makes the trip because in India the surgery will be cheaper and doesn't require a month long wait. Douglas and Jean Ainslie (Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton) are an argumentative couple that sank their nest egg into their daughter's failing start-up company.Madge Hardcastle (Celia Imrie) and Norman Cousins (Ronald Pickup) are two singles looking for a change from the older British dating scene. Graham Dashwood (Tom Wilkinson) is a retired judge with a guilty past who grew up in Jaipur, and is returning there for the first time since his youth.All seven are drawn to "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful" in Jaipur, India, based on an advertisement inspired more by the proprietors' hopes than on reality. The seven seniors travel to India, and as we find out, the hotel is anything but the Best or Exotic.It's here at the Marigold Hotel that they meet their host, Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patel), a naïve, completely disorganized yet highly enthusiastic young man. Must admit that I had to stifle my laughter in the theater and again when viewing the DVD, watching Sonny trying to explain to his guests that the hotel has no working telephones and that some rooms are without doors, something that had been neglected ahead of time. He is the film's comic lead, and his often-hyperactive performance often borders on pure slapstick. His exclamation was perfect:"Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not the end."Sonny is under extreme pressure from his arrogant, domineering mother to give up the hotel as a lost cause and go along with an arranged marriage in Delhi. But complicating matters, Sonny is in love with Sunaina (Tena Desae), a call center worker. It gets interesting (and a bit ironic) when Evelyn takes a job in the call center instructing the workers how to speak to British people on the phone... classic Judi Dench.Watching Muriel's gradual transformation from a racist and crabby shrew to a caring and sensitive woman may have stretched credibility a bit. But considering the never-married housekeeper background of her character, it's something that few besides Maggie Smith could pull off so well.The overall plot is beautifully interwoven with the subplots, and viewers will be treated to some mild surprises. Without dropping any spoilers, watch for Douglas (Bill Nighy) having a blast exploring the nearby temples and such, yet that does have its results with his wife. The antics of Madge (Celia Imrie) and Norman (Ronald Pickup) in their quests for romance are hilarious in parts. Graham (Tom Wilkinson) offers a touching performance on many levels as he proceeds with his personal quest.If there was any disappointment at all for this viewer, it was the hope that somewhere and at some point, Bill Nighy would break out of playing his role as a browbeaten husband and burst into that mad aging rocker that he did to well in Love Actually, but we can't have everything.The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is lively, irreverent and enjoyable when Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton are doing their crabby senior citizen performances. It produces some real laughs and offers truly brilliant performances from a highly experienced cast. Peppered with its pungent illustration of Jaipur's jam-packed streets and the rest of the scenery, it's a heartwarming, captivating and even inspiring leisurely paced comedy. Its optimism and claim that it's never too late to leave your comfort zone and explore new horizons makes it a joy for all except diehard gerontophobics.9/24/2012

Review: だいたい、ジュディ・デンチが出る映画がたいくつな訳ががない。脚本が面白いのは根底にあるけれど、なによりそれぞれの俳優の個性がこの映画を生かしている。こういう大ベテランと共に演じなければならない若い俳優は、どれほどびびっただろうか。そんな中で、ホテル支配人役の男優さんはとてもよく演じていたと思う。監督が「恋に落ちたシェークスピア」と知ってこの面白さを納得。人間模様で殺人事件のストーリーもあれば、こんな「なんとなくハッピーエンド」みたいなストーリーもある。作る人の思いが、役者や関係者できちんと共有されていなければ、これほどまとまった映像にならなかっただろう。「人生、いつでもやり直しできるんだ」ってことが解っていても、一歩踏み出すのが怖い。でも、「踏み出さない人生」の「先」って、「踏み出す人生」より、素晴らしくなる可能性ってあるのかしらん。この映画を観て、そんなことを考えさせられた。

Review: Voir approcher "la vieillesse" n'est pas forcément marrant. Dans cette comédie, c'est avec un humour britannique très agréable, plein d'autodérision, de clichés et de rôles d'acteurs caricaturaux mais au combien attachant, que ce film m'a fait passer une soirée très agréable, en oubliant presque mes maux personnels durant quelques instants. Je veux bien croire que l'on ne regarde pas ce film avec le même regard et la même sensation, lorsque l'on est dans la vingtaine ou dans la soixantaine d'années... mais pour ma part (plutôt dans la deuxième catégorie), j'ai trouvé cette escapade indienne très divertissante.
