A chamber piece rooted in semi-improvisation.

While Messina and Ireland are fine company, writer-director Matt Ross' conceit tires you out.

... one of the movie's points is that when you are cocooned with your lover, intoxicated and infatuated, you don't care much about the rest of the world

Rated: 87/100

The movie's conceit grows a bit stale even with a short running time, and ultimately the whole thing feels more like an acting workshop than a full-fledged human story.

Rated: C+

Cinemalogue

It's an intriguing and well-acted, if gimmicky and repetitive, cinematic experiment that nevertheless feels emotionally detached.

I loved it. They played out the gamet of emotions perfectly. Simple yet complicated relationship and their onscreen chemistry was very addicting. Just like their portrayed characters. I loved it.

An awful waste of time. Seems like its building to something, but it is just setting you up for a let down.

Although it's sexier than Fifty Shades of Gray, i'ts boring and... weird.

Another dead honest, sad but hopeful, brilliantly acted and utterly romantic movie. "28 Hotel Rooms" is an indie that plays like a sexed-up Neil LaBute play, which just makes the topics of one-night stands and romantic statuses all the more intriguing and questionable. Both Chris Messina and Marin Ireland are absolutely fantastic here. It's a little slow at times, but "28 Hotel Rooms" is a sizzling romantic drama not to be missed.
