The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Has anyone else seen this movie?

It's about a group of retirees who go to this hotel in India to retire.

We watched it tonight, and loved it.

I didn't say they were morbid, It's just more sadness in our lives if we have been hurt by this. There was a new movie out a few years ago about a mother losing her memory and had to be convinced to go to a home. That was before I experienced dementia in any form and I still didn't want to see it. I don't watch movies about drugs and delinquent teens either. Like I said there is to much sadness in our daily lives without watching it on TV.

Oh crap...I miss read it! LOL IMHO, those award shows are nothing more than an opportunity for the stars to once again pat themselves on the back and say aren't we wonderful. It's no longer about the quality of a movie or the artistic beauty of it, it's all about how well known and popular the actor in it is. Most movies these days are just awful with no depth or thought to them. I got so tired of buying into the hype of the trailers and walking away disappointed, I stopped looking to the theaters for entertainment quite a while ago and watch whatever I can find in Hulu plus or Netflix. The only reason I saw the Descendents is because DH wanted to rent from Redbox and asked if I'd choose a movie too. Next time I'll just save the money.

Such fun- reviews of the Grand Budapset Hotel
Q

That is funny.,,,,there are probably some troll reviews by people who don't realize it is fictitious. DH and I were really looking forward to The Grand Budapest Hotel as we generally like Wes Anderson, but neither of us could stay awake for this one. It was tediously unfunny and the storyline just had no hook for us (or anyone I could imagine watching). I loved Moonrise Kingdom because all that imagination was in the service of a passable plot in a setting full of American archetypes and memes. Excessive style for its own sake is never successful------in any cultural art, not just movies.

My almost 21-year-old daughter saw American Sniper a couple of weeks ago and loved it. She said that after the movie was over, the entire theater was deathly quiet. No one moved while all the credits rolled through. And then everyone left, as quiet as can be. She said you could hear a pin drop as everyone left. Respectful, I guess. And perhaps blown away by what these great heroes, all of our military people, actually went through over there . . . and here, afterwards as well. I'm anxious to see it, but as the mom of someone who served two tours in Afghanistan, I'm steeling myself as to how it will probably affect me. To me, every soldier is someone's beloved son, daughter, husband, wife or good friend. From what I hear, i'll need to wear waterproof mascara and bring along a lot of Kleenex.

I loved that movie! One of my favorite lines in a movie, ever - "It will all turn out all right in the end, and if it's not all right, then it's not the end yet."

We loved most of it, but there is a disjointed quality that took away from the movie as a whole. Awesome cast and acting, for sure. Just needed to be tightened up. Maybe the romantic subplot with the 'manager' was the weakness?

We 'screened' it a couple of months ago and enjoyed it very much. I have to agree with sushipup though; it felt a tad 'draggy' in some of the less important parts -- and there were plenty of *important* parts!

Since first previews, I knew I'd like it, but haven't seen it yet..almost bought it the other day. I know it will eventually be added to my movie library.

Good to hear so many have enjoyed it. :)

I, too, saw it a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was refreshing to see a movie with characters who were not young sex bombs!

We watched it a few weeks ago, hubby liked it more than I did. I was disappointed, had expected it to be much better. It just seemed lackluster.
