Release Date:

March 6, 2015

Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Two hopeful new arrivals at The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful quickly learn that there is only a single room left to rent.”

Poster: C

Review: An obvious re-rendering of the notable flowered poster design for the first film, which easily establishes the film as a natural follow-up to that surprise hit.

Trailer: B- / C+

Review: (#1) While the humor is entirely obvious and the premise seems a bit muddy, it’s clear to anyone who was a fan of the first film that they are in for more of the same with a few extra characters. That should help get those butts back in the theater seats for the sequel.

(#2) A mash-up of American trailer customs and those of our Bollywood brethren, the trailer feels at once like part of both worlds and necessary for neither. I can’t imagine anyone who wasn’t a fan of the original watching this and deciding to check out its sequel.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
