Do not be put off by the title and ignore the current score this film has until it starts to get up to at least an 8. While the reality falls short of the promises, there may still be a hidden charm to be found at the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

This is a great film that will have you crying and laughing in equal measure but in the end will leave you with that really warm feeling inside that you get when you have just seen a classic. It's a shame that Ronald Pickup and the beautiful Celia Imrie aren't shown on the poster as they are just as responsible for the enjoyment I got from this film as the other 'more famous' members of the cast.
