## Description

THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it's making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone's secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself.

Review: Delightful and Heartwarming - I highly recommend this very enjoyable film. It is well-written and well-acted. It is a follow up to a prior film with the same actors “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”, so from that point of view, it was interesting to see how the hotel experiment turned out. The actors are excellent (I mean Maggie Smith is always spot on). You do not have to have seen the first movie to watch this, but I would recommend watching both in order for the wonderful entertainment they provide.
Review: I loved this movie - I loved this movie, the same way I did the first! The hotel is run by very young Sonny Kapoor and his girlfriend, Sunaina What a funny, rich, interesting and endearing journey story of older Brits thinking they have found, after much research and internet searches, a perfect laid back retirement home for much less than in their country, with a possible exotic lifestyle. But as the saying goes, what appears to be too good usually isn't. And this place, largely, isn't. The building's walls are falling apart, the bedrooms are sparse, there is little running water, no plumbing, electricity and little furniture, and not all rooms are renovated. But the photography, the geography of the area, upclose, is spectacular! But then there is young, vibrant, optimistic Sonny and his girlfriend Sunaina, who is more than willing to help him upgrade his position and career. In this continuation (don't remember all the characters and detail) as the hotel is being refurbished, it then closes down. Sonny searches for a second companion hotel, and continues to see his girlfriend, Sunaia against his mother's wishes. Muriel, (Maggie Smith) becomes co-manager, with a new medical issue of her own, and spends most of her time at the hotel as Evelyn (Judi Dench) is offered a second job as a fabric buyer,(I think in California) for her higher knowledge of fabric and color, as Douglas (Bill Nighy) who wants to divorce his wife, is concerned about losing her, as they share daily, morning pancake outings, and as he is secretly falling in love and rejected, by Evelyn, who considers them no more than friends, having hoped to introduce his daughter. Meanwhile, Madge (Celia Imrie),divorced and isolating, finally leaves the hotel and soon finds two new suitors, competing with each other, deciding on which one she will choose and this plot ending surprised me. Meanwhile, Carol (Diana Hardcastle) and Norman Cousins (Ronald Pickup) just meet through Evelyn, and are soon having serious, funny, and misunderstood relationship issues, as he finds her sleeping around. The new guests, for one vacancy, are Guy, Richard Gere, a journalist and writer, who was writing a book but as he is quickly(who Sonny thinks is the company inspector of the hotel) taken in by the exotic and the area, lifestyle, and Lillete, Sonny's future mother-in-law, he has started to write chapters about each part of their relationship, and Livinia, who goes to a better hotel. I felt that the very exciting part of this movie, was the fresh, young optimistic energy of Sonny Kapoor, the so called owner/manager, of this hotel, with his girlfriend/fiance, Sunaina. Soon, Sonny's brothers, who share in the ownership, come up with bright, profit-making ideas on how to find another hotel and want to buy him out. With his struggles and now this, anger ensues. As well, his girlfriend's dancing partner, for a dance show, threatens his relationship and his newly approved impending marriage-chaos ensues. But, in the end with some sorrows, very good surprises, visual excitement abounds, laughter, joy and future possibility. Highly recommend. Both are great movies, for the young and the older.
