From NetFlix:

To make the most of their meager retirement savings, a group of British seniors relocates to India to live out their golden years at the Marigold Hotel. But upon arrival, they discover that the once-lavish resort has wilted considerably.

For those of us in the senior set used to British film and TV, this feel-good fantasy is a welcome relief from today’s film violence, gloom, and never ending series of super heroes. You may have to suspend a bit of disbelief and just accept the several happy results. But isn’t that what a feel-good movie is all about?

In addition you get to enjoy a colorful travelog through the best parts of the city of Jaipur in India. All those magical sights alone are worth the time spent watching the film.

Because I was disappointed in myself for not being able to name all these British actors whose faces are so familiar, I review them:

• Judy Dench we all know from “As Time Goes By”.
• Tom Wilkinson was Archie in “The 44-Inch Chest”.
• Bill Nighy, the tall thin man who played the long-suffering husband Douglas Ainslie, was Dr. Black in “Doctor Who”.
• Penelope Wilton, who played Nighy’s unhappy wife, was Isobel Crawley in “Downton Abbey”.
• Maggie Smith is, well, Maggie Smith.
• Ronald Pickup, the wannabe gigolo Norman Cousins, has been a support actor in many performances such as Jeffrey Livingstone in “The Jury II”.
• Celia Imrie, the sad Madge Hardcastle who tries to pass herself off as Princess Margaret, is also a familiar supporting actress in such roles as Lady Glenmire of”Cranmore”.

Possibly I am prejudiced by my age group, but I say DON’T MISS IT!
