"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" aka "Cocoon" with Curry, side order of Gay

LOVED IT!  FUNNY! PERFECT CAST! COLORFUL LOCATION!
This is great family entertainment!

I loved that it wasn't the 8-packed "Twilight"-esque actors we are so use to seeing in most movies nowadays; instead, it was elderly people in their own particular prime ready for the "now" experience. Impossible to really give the viewer too much back story since we are trying to get to where the 7 main characters are, the screenwriter & director still do a pretty damn good job for us to care about each & every one of them. The generation gap may exist but the human needs/hopes/dreams are transcended (fear not youngsters, young love is also explored).

The beauty of this film is the message. If you are an older viewer you get immediately-as I did-if you are younger pay close attention so your life is fuller & ultimately happier.

GREAT LESSONS HERE...

Take the entire family.
 Something for all.
As usual, Maggie Smith & Judi Dench steal the movie w/ colorful India as its backdrop.
