She simply decided to be happy and lived in the moment.<br /><br />Thanks for the beautiful reminder of a special movie.<br /><br />If you can, try and see "The Intouchables" it is French with English sub-titles and I feel is in line with this movie in the message and humour.<br /><br />Helenxxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-82812351968883563782012-09-26T20:42:22.667-04:002012-09-26T20:42:22.667-04:00Saw it and really enjoyed it.

It was slightly different than what I was expecting..thought it would be lighter, wasn't prepared to cry and get as emotinoally invested as I was but I definitely enjoyed it. Something about those British actors and actresses..so darn charming and I am always totally mesmerized by anything filmed in India....its such a colorful culturally rich country!The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016560832999165943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-59564999316267268802012-09-26T16:03:04.001-04:002012-09-26T16:03:04.001-04:00I watched it on a flight and found it to be highly...I watched it on a flight and found it to be highly entertaining. I love these British actors. but I have to say it is no "Love Actually". I think the Indian man who owns the hotel is the biggest star in this film {and his girlfriend in the movie}. I loved the setting, plot, and, again, the cast, but to me, it felt a little overacted, I wasn't able to get lost in the story, unlike "Enchanted April" and other similar films. Good film though, much better than many that are out there, and well worth a watch.Splendid Markethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611781081628569516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-80201881039868844842012-09-26T14:28:44.016-04:002012-09-26T14:28:44.016-04:00Looks like several different opinions here, but it...Looks like several different opinions here, but it is on my movie list...I'd love to see it...some of my favorite actors!<br />Have a beautiful day, dear friend!

We found the plot a bit trite, with token characters. Still, it had some fun moments and was okay for a lighthearted evening out.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-62282278018879890872012-09-26T10:39:43.740-04:002012-09-26T10:39:43.740-04:00Oh, I am so glad you did this post.

It reminds me of another film I loved from a while ago, The Enchanted April. It is also about a group of English women who are tired and uninspired and need to be refreshed. They go to Italy and stay at a small Tuscan castle in Portofino and are transformed by the beauty and freedom of Italy. <br />xx Sunday Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-64585489858727575462012-09-26T09:00:24.633-04:002012-09-26T09:00:24.633-04:00Hello, Elizabeth ~

I thought I would just have to wait till it reached "on demand". How pleased I was to find it was the movie to be shown on our trip over to Ireland. It is delightful isn't it.

For us too many 'celebrities' in competition with one another, an absurd 'plot' and, or so we thought, trivialising the country and people of India in a way which is undeserved.<br /><br />But we are in a small minority - most people have loved it.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
