I am a big movie fan and I'm certainly not one to ever tell anyone what to watch and to not try to enjoy a movie each his own we all have our own tastes and opinions but I have to say for a film with so much talent involved I hated this film in fact it probably ranks as one of the worse if not the worse film I ve ever seen!!!In fact just like another reviewer wrote I specifically decided to review this film because of how terrible it was and bad taste this film left in my mouth, but again this is just my opinion watch it and make up your own mind This whole film though I realize it was trying to be quirky didn't make any sense at all.

My favourite, most watched film ever! First saw "The Hotel New Hampshire" when I was about 14 (I'm 30 now! shh...) and it immediately struck a chord in me, for various reasons. I went out and bought the book, loved it-and have been a firm John Irving book and film-worm ever since.There's something for most people to relate to in the film-even at it's most bizarre moments! "Life is a fairytale!" If you have seen the film but not yet read the book, I would highly recommend it. It's as good , if not better than the film and opens up the world of john Irving to you-all his books are great, like 'The World According to Garp' or 'The Cider House Rules' etc... Great film!

Okay, it wasn't all bad.-Good music, except the New Year's Eve celebration-The architecture of the first two hotels-Old cars -Jodie Foster's hair and smile -In fact, Jodie Foster was quite good and I could have liked her character-Jennifer Dundas was also good But if this was supposed to be a comedy, it was sick, sick, sick.Seth Green was the first name I saw in the closing credits, which reminds me that in certain circumstances I can handle sick humor. Animated characters who are so adorable you just want to hug them can get away with a lot. But not these people.Don't be fooled by the fact the parents were telling the story to their children in the first few scenes. This is NOT for kids.

First of, this is not a comedy. Where was the fun? because I somehow missed it. I believe you'll find the movie to be insensitive and sometimes even gross. Also, the acting is quite disappointing. The argument is completely ridiculous, and it gets worse as the movie develops.I can think of many ways to describe this movie; lame, boring, stupid, weak, grotesque, absurd, poor...Only if you're curious to see the young Jodie Foster or Rob Lowe I would recommend this fiasco. But even in that case, it would be better for you to just watch "Taxi Driver" or "Youngblood" for instance.This is not worth watching. It's a terrible waste of time and I do not recommend it.
