Movie Review: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

This is one of the best escapist and poignant movies that I have seen in a long time.  Now I have not seen The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but I am going to look for it in DVD.  This movie is an ensemble performance with many different stories intertwined.

The main story is Sonny and Solena, an engaged couple who are soon to be married.  However they are already experiencing some discord.  Sonny wants to expand and buy another hotel.  With the help of Mrs. Donnelly, one of the residents of his hotel and co-manager, he goes about securing the financing from a venture capitalist firm.  However, somebody else may be after, not only Sonny's second hotel, but also his fiancee(da Da DAA!!!).  And if those troubles aren't enough, he has to please the undercover auditor that the venture capitalist sent.

Meanwhile, one of the couples who also reside at the hotel are experiencing their own discord, but the situation may not be as it seems.  As for Evelyn and Douglas, distractions get in the way of them finally coming together, will they or won't they? And will Ms. Hardcastle finally find love?

The movie makes for a lovely, amusing time with many twists and turns and since there is a happy ending (as if you could doubt it) it all ends with a Bollywood dancing extravaganza!
