Saw this in Melton yesterday at our lovely little cinema with our usual tea and biscuits. It was a lovely lovely film very funny and poignant but inspirational and I dont say that often. This is one of the few films I would pay to go and see again. DS enjoyed it too so its not necessarily a girly film.

I don't often go to the cinema, I like "feel good" films, and travel - nothing violent - so this really appealed to me. I went with my cousin to the matinee in Riverside theatre Woodbridge, a lovely small cinema. Loved the film and would happily watch it again. I've never been to India but this really gave a feel of the country, would recommend it.

Hi jigger. I loved the book so I hope I can see the film sometime.

Thoroughly enjoyed the film..great cast /setting etc as has been said..but the book is even better!

I saw the film just after I read the book and was quite disappointed. Loved the book but spent the first bit of the film trying to figure out who was who. Don't let it put you off though, I know I am in the minority as most people seem to rave about the film.

I loved the film, and have now requested the book from the library! I've read all of Deborah Moggach's books apart from this one.

mgwnzy think because they changed story quite a bit I felt like it was not really the same!

I loved the Best Marigold Hotel too - just my kind of film. Quite different from the book which was also good - most stuff by Deborah Moggach is. Also went to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - Euan McGregor mmm.... - and it was a good film too. I love an escapist night out at the cinema.

Daughter took me to the Filmhouse in Edinburgh to see an Austrian film called 'Breathing'. Very intense but interesting all the same. An entirely different experience from the Best Marigold Hotel.
