About
If you enjoyed the cosy, feel-good mix of humour and late-life reinvention in Quartet or The Hundred-Foot Journey, this offers a similar warm return; Not for you if you want a tight plot or minimal romance.
Pros: warm ensemble charm; witty humour; colourful setting | Cons: too many subplots; slower than first; romance feels trite
