Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 7/2/15] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: While The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel attempts to recapture the magic of the original, something was a bit off.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A delightful visit with old friends and a chance to see how they are faring
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a big, bright mess of a movie whose cast and locales distract from its screenwriting lapses.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The only significant thing to discuss about the movie is how familiar it is…
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ is a step-up from its predecessor, allowing the characters to indulge in their quirks and adventures while audiences simply enjoy the performances.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Satisfyingly soapy, culminating in a gloriously pseudo-Bollywood dance spectacle…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Even with all the amorous adventures, the production is absolute drudgery for a moviegoer to endure. Not much of consequence happens.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Why yes, it is The SECOND BEST Exotic Marigold Hotel
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Check out time.
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: This delightful return to the Marigold Hotel mostly lives up to the high bar set by its predecessor: like a trip back to a favourite getaway, this holiday is only really missing the sparkly sense of surprise that makes the first Marigold such a winner.

- Excerpt: Simples, Leve e Divertido
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Second Best is right. One of the more unlikely sequels to come out this year – and one of the more ungainly titles – is proud to be little more than a continuation of events in the lives of characters established in the first movie.

- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is not a great movie, but it is not bad either, and marginally better than the first.
