I was a little disappointed in this movie. The concept reminded me of the Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn movie - Same Time Next Year (1978). The actors Chris Messina and Marin Ireland are attractive enough to care about them, separately and together, but through the entire movie I wanted their characters to move beyond individual selfishness. The 1978 movie was much more tidy and genteel, but also covered specific milestones of an affair lasting over 25 years. In this 2012 production, you have to guess if their meeting intervals are weeks, months or years apart. Perhaps 28 Hotel Rooms gives us the filler years of the untidy and crass aspects of a long lasting love affair. I am not sure if I would have stayed with the movie if it had gone beyond 90 minutes.
