1.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor!, December 31, 2004

Christina Ricci is such a fine actress that even in a superficial, pointless film like No Vacancy she is worth watching. There is something so impish and deceptively unassuming about her screen presence that the total lack of plot and character development in this bit of fluff is unable to stifle her creative fires. That said, I would suggest avoiding No Vacancy (the title refers to the occupancy status of the Hollywood motel where all the action takes place) as it has few other redeeming qualities. Tedious and annoying, the storyline is comprised of a series of uninspired skits desperately edited at a frenetic pace in an attempt, one might think, to distract the viewer from their inherent lack of cohesiveness or meaning. Why so many talented actors commited themselves to such an unpromising project is beyond my understanding. Perhaps the script worked better as text but failed to translate well onto the screen? I know that negative reviews are rarely appreciated on this website but I felt a need to contribute my thoughts as a service to others who might be tempted by this film. Don't waste your time.

3.0 out of 5 stars certainly not the best but not the worst either......, January 20, 2008

The biggest mistake this movie made was trying too hard to be something else. It made me think the director was attempting to outdo "Four Rooms" or "After Dark". This in no way would have been considered a success. The scenes were hit or miss. The plot loosely revolved around Christina Ricci and Timothy Olyphant as he mistakenly entered her motel room for the night. Theirs is a farcical romance with all other characters running around them like chickens with their heads cut off. This movie does succeed to varying degrees in providing mindless entertainment. I hate to admit that I enjoyed certain parts of the skits, like the drunk boys or Robert Wagner, but there was no real plot, no outstanding performances, and many of the overlapping scenes were too disjointed to make it worth viewing again.

This movie is a guilty pleasure type of thing - a nice bit of fluff between serious films or sneaking a trashy Jackie Collins novel in movie form. Not highly recommended but not the worst I've seen either.

3.0 out of 5 stars Because of Ricci, July 23, 2010

I originally got this movie because of Christina Ricci. I really enjoyed her acting in Buffalo 66(not to mention her lucious curves), so I was hoping to get something special here. Well her curves are still there but the movie was just so-so. The stories just didn't flow too well. Without Ricci this movie would've gotten one and a half stars from me.
