Thom says: “Almost everyone saw the delightful, life-affirming THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL & this sequel is more of the same; yet, with a disparaging finale. But the abundant treasures of the film just keep streaming along. Personally, I adore films with such extremely high-quality actors as Smith, Dench, & Nighy strutting their spectacular wares, and yet not intruding on their other cast members, as they can be notorious scene-stealers.
“With the noticeable success of his first hotel Sonny wants to expand his empire and he takes his perspicacious tenant Muriel Donnelly (Smith) to Los Angeles to help him plea for funding from a major hotel chain. They return to India to wait for a consultant to observe their hotel operation, in the middle of planning Sonny’s wedding to the gorgeous, sassy Sunaina. 4.5 cats”
