neutral · AI labelView post →Film #79 for 2026 is The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015). I couldn't finish it. It's dire. Everyone gets their relatively happy endings from the original ruined in favour of depressing plotlines about jealousy and miscommunication and generous helpings of tedious cringe comedy.

For some reason that makes me cry every time. It's such a sweet thing to do for someone to show love and thought.

With the hotel now more successful, "Sonny" (Dev Patel) and "Mrs. Donnelly" (Dame Maggie Smith) are in the USA trying to seek funding for them to expand, and to buy the former women's palace for their next venture.

The honesty of the characters and how relatable they are is what made the first film so charming and unique applies to this film too. These two films have a very special place in my heart. Would I watch it again? Absolutely! Would I make my friends watch it? Definitely.
