I
would like to see Bill Nighy be a nice
guy in more movies. He’s so effective
as a ragged, aging musician (Love
Actually) or as, say, a creepy ancient vampire
(the Underworld series) that I forget what
a wonderful actor he is in ordinary roles.
He made an excellent bureaucrat (in Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I or
Hot Fuzz), and shone in an uncredited role
as a Van Gogh expert in the heartbreaking
Doctor Who episode “Vincent and the
Doctor.” And he’s a perfect miserable
husband in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,
a mostly charming British comedy in which
fi ne actors make the most of a pat script with
an uncomfortably typical streak of cultural
tourism in its storyline.
Nighy plays Douglas, whose taut
features seem to wind even tighter every
time his wife, Jean (fellow Doctor Who
alum Penelope Wilton), snips at him.
They’re among the English retirees who,
in search of something different for their
golden years, opt to move to Jaipur’s Best
Exotic Marigold Hotel, a retirement joint
“for the elderly and beautiful” run by
Sonny (Dev Patel), a young man with more
enthusiasm than business sense.
The hotel, when the crabby, delayed
travelers arrive, isn’t quite what they
expected. On the surface, it appears past its
prime, but isn’t that how the world sees its
new residents as well? And might everything
not be quite as it seems? Racist, sullen Mrs.
Donnelly (the brilliant Maggie Smith)

watches everyone from her wheelchair;
her redemption isn’t a quick turnaround
but a series of expressions and reactions,
quiet and internal yet gracefully displayed.
Douglas, breaking free of his sullen wife,
goes exploring, lights up and lets the smile
playing around his thin lips break free. His
attraction to recently widowed Evelyn (Judi
Dench) is awkwardly overt; the way it cracks
Douglas’ defensive shell is as obvious as the
twinkle in Dench’s eye. (Dame Judi handles
her character’s awkward, Sex and the City:
30 Years Later blog-post voiceovers as well
as anyone could.) And Tom Wilkinson, so
fl ustery and blowhardy in recent great roles,
has a quiet, lovely turn as a man who’s
fi nally started to tell long-held secrets; you
can see his shoulders slumping a little less
with each utterance.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel builds as
predictably and stably as a stack of blocks,
each scene set solidly atop the last until they
inevitably tumble over into a slightly more
dramatic conclusion. The set-in-their-ways
Brits learn from the idealistic young Indi-
ans, and vice versa, and if the characters
on both sides are largely clichés, they’re
somewhat enlivened by the efforts of the
actors — though these efforts can’t quite
keep an uncomfortable patronizing streak
from pervading the parts in which the nice
old British folks use superior communica-
tion and accounting skills to teach Sonny
how to get his life together. Like its pre-
decessors — from Kinky Boots to Tamara
Drewe to Keeping Mum to more fi lms than
I have room to list — Hotel charms while
you’re watching it, lightly pushes a few but-
tons (some unintentionally), and gives you
little to chew on when you leave the theater.
Apart, that is, from a newfound appreciation
for Bill Nighy.
