Feel good movie for the 70+ generation. It's not too badbut it could be a bit funnier if nothing else.

It's easy to call this one heavy-handed, but the fact is that this is not: Madden's touch is so light that sometimes it's even hard to feel anything for his characters, despite the confessed inspirational, everything-will-be-all-right-in-the-end script. The best moments, slowly built by warm performances, come from Judy and Nighy -- he's so good that I actually want to be an old man just like him.

31 Mart 12, ist film fest & film, bulamadklari ozlerini, mutlulugu, insanligi & belki aydnlanmayi doguda bulan yasli batililarn hikayesi. filmde, Hollywood'un otantik olana yonelip bu otantikligi kendi onyargi ve yapayligi ile oryantalist bir bakis acisi ile bulmasindan ve seyirciye boyle sunmasindan samimi bulmadigim bir is. Film, doguyu tamamen grotesk bir fantezi memleketi olarak algilayan Hollywood yonetmeninn elinden cikma bir is.

What a piece of crap. Maggie Smith is racist, lol! Also, bird symbolism! Ughhhhhh

"The film is home to some unique redeeming factors, but it panders to viewers by diluting its lesson, which teaches that some comfort zones can only be truly abandoned on the other side of the world." - R. Kurt Osenlund

Truly moving

Like a unique cross between Lost in Translation, Little Miss Sunshine, and Slumdog Millionaire. Though the movie is far from perfect, the characters are each fascinating to watch and the themes and emotions the movie evokes really touched a nerve in me. It hits on human-existentialism, finding meaning in life, love, changing ourselves and our environment, accepting others who are different than us, growing old, and losing people we care about. It also has a lot of funny moments.

Dench and Nighy are the highlight of an otherwise excruciatingly tedious, overlong character piece, riddled with some of the most tired movie conventions. Could've also easily taken place anywhere else; Using India as a filming location has become as exotic as drinking a Piņa colada.

Enjoyable, funny, a fantastic cast of golden oldies. There are no suprises but this is good entertainment.
