Cinephile No. 489 "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"
I wasn't the target audience for this movie. Likewise, I will never attend the Republican National Convention. As I looked around the theatre, most people possessed a fine head of gray hair or kissed the hair train goodbye a long time ago. It probably didn't help that we watched this one in Palm Springs. While this film was filled with plenty of funny and touching moments, it made the same mistake committed by most sequels. It tried to recreate the magic and allure that made you love the original. As is the truth for most things, it is hard for lightning to strike the same spot twice.
Thanks for entering my world,
