PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"A sterling cast and a fine balance of comedy and poignancy make this story of unfulfilled Brit retirees discovering new life in India a pleasure-filled journey" (David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is proof that art-house films can be as clichéd and soggily sentimental as the big-ticket items playing at the multiplex (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Ty Burr: Boston Globe)

----------------------------------------
"With a lesser cast, the movie would be a lineup of TV-movie clichés. But this is a cast that never makes a false move even when the script settles for formula (...) Rating: **1/2 (our of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"A charming, funny and heartwarming movie ... a smoothly crafted entertainment that makes good use of seven superb veterans (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"Madden and screenwriter Ol Parker take the easiest, most familiar paths (we're still doing Viagra jokes?), dropping every opportunity to explore issues like culture clash, loneliness and mortality (...) Rating: ** (out of five)" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)
