Blu-ray Review - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

About the Blu-Ray

An award-winning, all-star cast, led by Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, and Maggie Smith, lights up this “buoyant comedy laced with genuine emotion.” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) When seven cash-strapped seniors decide to “outsource” their retirement to a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most unexpected ways. Smart, life-affirming and genuinely charming, THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is a “true classic that reminds us that it’s never too late to find love and a fresh beginning at any age.” (Rex Reed, The New York Observer)

My Take on the Blu-ray
This movie was not what I had expected. It had a great cast of characters and the acting was top-notch. What was interesting to me was how the Director did such a great job at portraying and showing the growth and development of each character. Each character within the movie goes through their own transformation, and it is this transformation that allows you to get engrossed by the movie. Don't get me wrong though, this movie is funny and witty and has a charm that cannot be understated too. All-in-all this was a movie that was a hidden gem as it gave much more than I expected!
