lol. i gave it the highest grade so far (7) and i didn't even like it that much.
I mean, this film is marginally entertaining and not poorly made, so...6?
I really like the scene where Judi Dench is teaching to the telemarketers. Everything else is pretty standard.
You can do it, Naomi! You're...
ONLY 10 EASY STEPS AWAY FROM OSCAR!
1.) Bankrupt small, independent distributor via massive Oscar campaign. Failing that, proceed to...
2.) Cash in King Kong residual checks to pay for FYC advertisements from Kinko's.
3.) To avoid getting sent straight to VOD, attach entire film as a "trailer" to another film people actually want to see. And then...
4.) Try to do it Lahti-style and win Academy Award for Best Short Film.
5.) Avoid telling a story that everyone already knows by adding exciting details and/or gratuitous editing.
6. Carefully and patiently weather the wrath of film critics/the royal family/the tabloids/Diana-maniacs for trying to add said details. (Good luck!)
7. Find all of the boxes with "August: Osage County" screeners and slip in self-made cam bootleg from premiere screening at Lowes...the hardware store.
(Not Loews, the movie theater -- too expensive!)
8. Trick octogenarian Oscar voters into thinking that you are, in fact, a real princess. (Hey, it worked on Eva Marie Saint!)
9. On Oscar night, have camera crews come to Nicole's house, Joan Crawford-style, so you can win and keep your day job.
10. OSCAR!
I gave it a 5 (** 1/2 star, if I were to convert it to the 4 star scale.) It had good performances and I smiled here and there, but overally it was pretty bland, somewhat predictable and I was iffy on a few aspects of the script.

Judi Dench sure knows how to wear a scarf!

6/10. Cute, inoffensive and fun. I love the old British broads just playing themselves.
Great. Now who's going to watch Sunday Rose on SAG night??
Lol, I completely forgot I saw this, like I've almost erased out of my mind, not because it was bad but just because.... it's just there. Like it exsits, but that's about it.
I gave it a solid 6. It's got some pretty shots and sets and the acting is good, otherwise pretty forgettable.
I gave it a respectable 7. Not necessarily original or groundbreaking, but I think it's a sweet and delightful film featuring a terrific cast doing their thing. And of course, I will continue to champion its sequel being made!

Generally this.
The only issue with it was the convenient way the plot maneuvered to allow each character's arcs to be resolved tidily, including the potentially offensive eventual outcome of Tom Wilkinson's. It felt like this film was avoiding any real issues so it could stick to being 'light' and 'enjoyable'.
Still competently made and well acted - 6 /10
Actually, I'd say some of the characterizations here are a bit offensive. And I didn't have much fun.
5/10
The definition of meh.

The cast is everything. Otherwise, nothing special, but sweet. 6.
The man who leaves and the man who comes back are not the same.
First of all, so glad to see this series is back! Thanks for tackling this, WOV!
As for the movie, I gave it a 7. I liked it. Yeah, it's pretty much all about the cast, but the photography is also quite lush and certainly does a nice job of illuminating the beauty of India that the characters begin to discover. It's nice that some of the character arcs end well, while others don't, blah blah blah. There's some horribly embarrassing stuff, like , but overall, it's a nice little movie. Sort of forgettable and inconsequential, but likable.
I still need to see this. I guess. At least it would give me something to talk about with my grandparents who keep raving about how great it was.

It was cute.
I agree with all of its Oscar nominations!
