John Madden and Ol Parker riff on 'Marigold Hotel'

What if you could outsource retirement? "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" took a cast loaded with British talent — Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy among them — to India to find out. The fish-out-of-England romantic comedy did boffo business. With a $10-million budget, it has grossed more than $135 million worldwide since its May release, making it Fox Searchlight's highest-grossing specialty film of 2012.
