5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites...., May 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hotel De Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I meant to see this movie when it came out, and I never did, but then a couple of years later, I saw it in a video store, rented it and fell in love with it. It's by no means perfect, but I loved how things didn't quite come out as expected for any of the characters. Yes, they're quirky, outrageous, etc., but they are very human.

Best of all, I loved how one of the main female characters sticks to her guns and follows her dreams, instead of waiting around for one more man. *He* has to wait around for her, until she's ready (and then it's a whopper of a scene as someone has already commented). There's some very fine writing in this movie, and I keep hoping that Craig Rosenberg will write and direct another small intimate piece in the near future.

This is a movie that I would put in a very special category. It may not be the most well made, or well acted movie. It certainly doesn't have the best script. It isn't the funniest movie I've seen, and it isn't the most romantic. But that doesn't matter. I still loved this movie. Some movies weren't meant to be analyzed, they were just meant to be enjoyed.

Now on to the plot. The story revolves around twin brothers Stephen and Rick Dunne. Both brothers fall for the same girl when they are teenagers. She moves away and ten years pass. In those ten years, Stephen obsesses over her, and Rick gets stood up at the altar. They all meet again at a tacky hotel where Rick is the manager. Let the games begin!!

Aside from being a very attractive woman, Melissa never gave me any reason why a person should be in love with her for 10 years. She was just sort of there. Allison, on the other hand, is a person I could see a guy fussing about for way more then 10 years. I loved how Ronny had the perfect song for every occasion in the film. And I still get chills every time I watch that last frame of the movie when the two lovers just say "Hi" to each other.

I give this movie a 5/5 just for the sheer reason that I have seen it well over 35 times and I still love watching it every time. That is why this movie get a Doctor's Recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very pleasant surprise, June 3, 2000

I rented this primarily because Saffron Burrows was in it, and she's just so beautiful I frankly didn't even care what genre the movie was -- it could have been action, sci-fi, horror, western, drama, whatever. It is a really fun romantic comedy, though, and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. The seventies music in the soundtrack worked well, and the subplots were enough to keep you involved. Think of this as sort of around the same tone as "Picture Perfect", but with more well-rounded characters... Really well done, and quite romantic. I'm sorry this movie didn't make a bigger splash when it came out, I wish I'd heard of it sooner.
