  • tv.com: link

“I guess Charlie had the cruelest intentions of all.”

its-always-sunny-charlie-and-dee-find-loveAfter getting rear-ended by an attractive, and rich, young man (Josh Casaubon) and his sister (Alexandra Daddario), Charlie (Charlie Day) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) find themselves invited to dinner. Not willing to see the pair screw this up, Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Frank (Danny DeVito) offer their own brand of helpful support which leads to an awkward dinner that somehow, despite all logic, doesn’t turn off the pair’s new friends.

Believing the situation to be too good to be true, and some kind of rich game of humiliation, Dennis, Mac, and Frank tag along on a trip to the Taft mansion the next day. After he stops trying to hit on Charlie’s new lady love, Dennis does discover that Dee and Mac have gotten themselves humiliated exactly as he thought they would. That’s right, possibly for the first time ever, Dennis Reynolds was right. Dennis is able to get revenge for Mac and Dee’s public humiliation, by showing an awkward recording of Mac and his new rich pal to an entire room of his peers. Charlie’s situation, however, proves to be more complicated.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

/ / Home Video
  • Title: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
  • IMDB: link

best-marigold-hotel-dvdDirected by John Madden, and adapted from Deborah Moggach‘s bestselling novel by Ol Parker, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel offers a rich cast of English actors in an ensemble piece about a group of elderly pensioners who all move into the same retirement community in India.

The cast is better than the material, but The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel sports some noteworthy performances (particularly that of Judi Dench as a recent widow) and boasts the kind of feel-good story most should enjoy without becoming sappy or overly sentimental.

Our group of travelers include a penniless widow (Dench), a gay man (Tom Wilkinson) returning to India looking to reconnect with the love of his life, a henpecked husband (Bill Nighy) and his demanding wife (Penelope Wilton), a kindly but somewhat racist housekeeper (Maggie Smith) in need of a hip replacement, an aging ladies man (Ronald Pickup), and a woman (Celia Imrie) in the market for a new husband.
