If you loved The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, try Shakespeare in Love
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Madden, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Shakespeare in Love is
London theater, quill scratching on parchment. A young playwright struggles, a noblewoman auditions, words begin to flow. John Madden makes the Bard's early life a clever farce.
