A very sweet movie that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did.Earring72
Sweet and charming comedy drama with a great cast and performances!GoonerCinephile
Very good. Better than I expected!!Siskoid
This John Madden gentle comedy is no Shakespeare in Love, but it manages to charm thanks to its location work and performances. The premise could be a TV series: A number of British seniors move to India for a variety of reasons and stay at a work-in-progress hotel run by a zany young man played by Dev Patel who hopes to "outsource the old". So you've got a recently-widowed Judi Dench looking for a fresh start, Wilkinson looking for an old lover, Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton forced to move to cheaper climes in their retirement, crusty racist Maggie Smith there to get a quick, no-waiting hip replacement, and both Ronald Pickup and Celia Imrie independently looking for love and adventure. The realities of their adopted country, and the bonds they forge with one another, changes them. The film is perhaps better categorized as a drama, but the way threads resolve into mostly happy endings betray its true nature. Here, you either buy it or you don't. The ending is either too pat or part of the film's enchanted tone. It doesn't tread the line between serious realism and fairy tale quite well enough for it to work for everyone.Malena

I thought it was a thoroughly charming film. It's not meant to be cutting edge or jeopardy-filled. Plus with a cast this good they can't help but give mostly affecting performances."Dreadful in every way" is going far too far.

The single most charming film of 2012.PatchouliNyaa
It had it's moments, they were just pretty brief. Everything else just didn't appeal to me.Flapster_NL

How cute was this?! Without a doubt one of the best feelgood movies of the year!thaleya
Hilarious and adorable. Absolutely loved it!Saraxx
A brilliant film!! Not because of cinematography or Oscar worthy performances (though both were good) but because it's a very special and uplifting film. Thoroughly enjoyable!!Musanna
