If you loved The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, try The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

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 sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is

Jaipur, monsoon season, the sound of a taxi horn. A faded hotel lobby, a group of retirees with worn suitcases. Madden balances humor and pathos with a gentle touch.
