If the majority of pop culture is to be believed, individuals over the age of 50 fall into one of two categories: the butt of a joke, or the object of pity. In a world that prioritizes wrinkle-free skin over life experience, it's unfortunate how few films, television shows and books present complex, fully developed older characters. "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" isn't anything groundbreaking in terms of plot, and wobbles on the edge of cultural tourism from time to time, but in terms of presenting retirement age as rife with possibilities, it's a colorful, resounding success.
