*The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on HBOCHD now.
Tom Wilkinson stars as one of several British retirees who pool their resources to move to India, only to find that the hotel they're planning to reside at has fallen into disrepair. In time, they attempt to make the best out of a bad situation. GREAT cast, FUN and serious.
A compassionate, life-affirming comedy-drama with more substance, wit, and spirit than ten teenage melodramas, it’s also possessed of an ageless wisdom and sense of wonder that’s genuinely moving.
