The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel / We Bought a Zoo / The Descendants Triple Pack [2012]

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel A group of British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you begin let go of the past. From the director of Shakespeare in Love and featuring an all-star British cast, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a charming, life-affirming comedy drama about life, love and new beginnings… We Bought a Zoo Matt Damon stars in this feelgood family feature based on the memoir by Benjamin Mee. Newly widowed Benjamin (Damon) is finding life difficult trying to raise his two young children. Urged on by his father, Duncan (Thomas Haden Church), to start over, Benjamin decides to purchase a rundown zoo in the countryside in the hope that it will bring his family together again. Having to care for 47 species, and with his friends thinking he's mad, Benjamin sets out to restore the zoo to its former glory with the help of a small but loyal staff led by Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson). The Descendants From Alexander Payne, the celebrated director of Sideways, comes an Oscar-winning film that Rolling Stone calls "damn near perfect." Academy Award winner George Clooney "gives his best performance to date" (Philip French, The Observer) and newcomer "Shailene Woodley shines" ( Total Film). Experience a bittersweet drama about a detached father's attempt to reconnect with his two daughters and their often-hilarious quest for the truth in this "beautifully observed and brilliantly acted comedy drama" ( Sunday Express).
