Movie review:
- Jack: Just like the first movie, this one takes you on a very special journey that you’ll never forget. The honesty of the characters and their relatability made the first film so charming and unique, and that applies to this film as well.
- These two movies hold a very special place in my heart.
- Would I watch it again? Absolutely! Would I let my friends watch it? really.
- CinemaSerf: Hats off to John Madden, who managed to reassemble the cast from the first film four years ago and secure the services of Richard Gere, but I fear all that’s left is a poor cousin . With the hotel now more successful, “Sonny” (Dev Patel) and Mrs. “Sonny” “Donnelly” (Mrs. Maggie Smith) are seeking funding in the United States to help them expand and prepare for their next Venture into the former women’s palace. Upon their return, they expect the inspectors to assess their business, with a slightly different approach to the arrival of writer “Chambers” (Geele) and new guest “Lavinia” (Tamsin Gregg) ——This is “Sonny’s” first mistake! There was a sense of freshness to the first film, with them (and us) all exploring a new life and new opportunities in a new bustling city: it was a less happy affair. Everyone seems to be looking forward to the ending; the characters are flatter and more depressing. Ronald Pickup and Celia Imrie’s playful characters have reached a rather uninteresting dead end. The family feud between Sonny, his fiancée, and his mother is a little too complicated, and frankly, the story has lost steam. Patel oozes charisma, which he embodies more than anyone else, and also delivers a pretty good dance at the end. It’s colorful and not overwhelming, but Mrs. Maggie, in particular, has lost her grumpy charm and Mrs. Judy is really goofy throughout the movie and has little of the spark we’ve seen before. To be honest, I’m not so sure the first movie really deserves a sequel. It really isn’t very memorable and Richard Gere’s character really doesn’t add much.
