RottenTomatoes Score: 76% (5.9/10 average) Box Office: As the movie isn't released in the US until early March, there's not a lot of tracking information available, but given how the first Exotic Marigold Hotel movie was an unexpected sleeper hit in both the UK and worldwide, expect this weekend's UK box office haul to be sizable indeed. While it repeats a lot of tricks from the first movie and isn't particularly ambitious, Marigold Hotel 2 is another fun jaunt, because watching these wonderful actors in this gorgeous setting leads to an agreeable, inoffensive little trip, if a little overlong, doing just about enough to make itself seem relevant. Plus, the addition of Richard Gere as the dishy new resident of the hotel adds a major dollop of charm to a cast already overflowing with it. A third film would probably be a mistake, but as far as wildly unnecessary sequels go, it's a pretty entertaining one.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
