Heres Ryans review of a pleasant, undemanding film… A little bit of tragedy, a smattering of pathos, a sprinkling of poignancy.

Marigold Hotelbegins by introducing a disparate selection of well-to-do ladies and gentlemen, whove all reached retirement age.

For their own separate reasons, this group of strangers all find themselves staying at theExotic Marigold Hotelin Jaipur.

Madge and Norman go off looking for rich widows to lure into bed, with varying degrees of success.
