I watched the first one several times on HBO(?). I have a problem hearing and understanding British accents so I had to watch it a few times. It was a wonderful movie, very enjoyable. I will have to wait until it comes to TV to watch the second one, to overcome the accents.

Lacy1, For a lot of today's shows on TV, I use close caption. They talk to fast, or music background, or do not pronounce words clearly..

Looking forward to seeing Richard Gere in it, who by the way I would love to see on DWTS. !!

We don't have any hearing challenges, but switched on "Closed Captions" on our TV .... and find it REALLY comes in handy! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

Re: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Got only a fair review in my paper said great cast, very thin plot. But, my friend saw it already and loved it.

Re: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

I'm back and my verdict is the first was better. (maybe because it was such a pleasant surprise) Of course I loved seeing Richard Gere in this one and it was great seeing "friends" from Downton Abbey. (as I'm already suffering withdrawal)

I've read they changed the ending as the original one was not well received by test audiences.

Still this was a nice way to spend a late morning with 3 of my best friends. (me, myself and I)
