The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Reviews

Movie Reviews

• whether or not the film is to your taste, its creators have tried to do right by the original, brainstorming a plot deserving of a sequel before constructing another "Exotic Marigold Hotel" that's hardly second-best

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• weak storytelling and the awkward performances

  by Edward Douglas [Comingsoon.net ]

• thinly rationed romantic comedy

  by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• starts out just as predictably - but around halfway through, the culture-clash cliches suddenly run out, and the whole thing swerves off in an unexpected and rewarding direction

  by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph ]

• overall, this return visit to the 2012 gray-set rom-com is deadly dull

  by Joe Neumaier [NY Daily News ]

• busier but also blander and duller than its predecessor

  by Leslie Felperin [Hollywood Reporter ]

• a pointless sequel to an overlong but charming little comedy that was never designed to launch a franchise

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]
