It has come to this: not even a mini-review, just a piece of advice. I loved the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a story of retirees stretching their money in a dilapidated Indian hotel. There's now a sequel, the Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. No more Tom Wilkinson, whose character died in the first film; instead we get Richard Gere. What happened? How can Richard Gere be playing an old guy? Anyway, the advice is: see it if it is still around where you are. Or, since this advice is so late, see it on Netflix.
