A group of British retirees meet for the first time at the airport in London, departing for what they think will be a snazzy hotel in India that will allow them to live more cheaply than in expensive London.... comfortably. Dev Patel is the youngest son who is trying to get his father's rundown Marigold Hotel open and back on its feet. Needless to say, the joint isn't exactly what anyone expected. But they all bond...in their own ways...and, for the most part, take their new lot in life and go for it. All the characters are wonderfully portrayed. It's a rich story in a great setting and I loved every moment of it!
