The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Jean, This is an entertaining enough sequel to the first movie.The entertainment comes from the performances of the big names such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Richard Gere etc. The story line is almost serpentine in it's many different side stories you are asked to follow and keep straight. It shows that this follows a very successful movie, in that you can see a lot of money being spent .  They tell you the morale of the story is "the present is time", but am not sure what that is supposed to mean. You do see a lot of the streets of Jaipur and Mumbai. India but the travelogue aspects of India are not shown.   Dad

P.S. The previews are:

"71

Woman in Gold

Cinderella

Jean, This is an very enjoyable and beautiful looking film. It is a live action film, not animated. The scenes and sets are more than you could wish for and the costumes are almost beyond belief. The well-known story is kept intact with a few touches of humor and fantasy. There are some quite magic moments such as the first appearance of the Fairy Godmother, the changing of the pumpkin into one amazing carriage, the emerging of Cinderella's dress ,  the magic ball, the clock striking 12 midnight and all that entails and on. Cinderella is personified by the acting of Lily James as the title character, and Kate Blanchett as the evil Stepmother. for example. You get your money's worth in this film with time spent on getting to know the characters and their stories. The director is Kenneth Branagh and he keeps this film moving along.  Also before the main film, there is a 10-12 minute short film starring the characters from "Frozen" entitled "Frozen Fever" with Elsa and Anna an others  back.  Dad
