    The Darjeeling Limited

    2007, 1h 32m


    Genre: Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 72%

    Our Comments: 06-10-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). A strange type of comedy/adventure. Subtle wit and non-mainstream quirky, humanistic humor. If you want to try something quite different, then this could be worth a watch. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    TMDB: “Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other — to become brothers again like they used to be. Their “spiritual quest”, however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray).”

    Enjoyment Rating: 3.5 star

    Clean Rating: Not yet rated, but let me say quickly, there are inappropriate scenes that could be an issue for many viewers.
