British, Comedy 4.5 stars
Loved it! An assortment of retirees from England is mislead by an advertisement for a retirement home in India; they expected it to be luxurious but it is quite rundown instead. Of course, you know how most things will turn out, but the fun is in watching it all unfold. The impressive cast includes Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson to name a few. Also costarring is Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) whose character is a cliché as the hotel manager, but the fun is in watching the older Brits trying to adjust their expectations and adapt to their new environment. There is some depth, especially with Wilkinson’s character, but the rest is pure fun.
