THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
The plot of this 2012 movie is thin as onionskin typing paper, a simile that ought to baffle an entire generation of film fans – but that generation, most likely, wouldn’t have seen this movie anyway. It’s about a group of British tourists who travel to India to stay at a resort that doesn’t exactly live up to the brochure. But the cast makes this movie a pleasure: Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy, just for starters.
