Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

hjames-97822 This thing has one major flaw. It goes on far, far to long. his would have made a decent indie short. As it is, it turns into "another tryst another bed." Boring! In one scene the director actually fast forwards through and entire room stay by this couple, and it was surprisingly refreshing. They all start to look the same. They meet. They chat. They have sex. They order room service. They chat. Then it's usually back to the rack. At one point we are entertained with a scene in which he is painting her toenails. Sorry. Not worth the price of the rental.As the scenes progress the sex gets a bit more inventive, including a rather silly nude scene on a balcony. Of course as time and rooms pass we learn more about their real lives outside adultery. They really seem to have little regard for those aspects of their lives so I don't much care either.Messina fans will be pleased. There's a lot of him naked including some frontal shots. (Nothing to write home about, as they say.) Frankly before it was even half over I just didn't care about these characters or even these two actors. You can only watch so many fake orgasms before you've simply had enough. If I never see either of them naked again it will be fine.

suite92 She is from Seattle; he is based in New York. He is a novelist; she is a data miner. They travel in their work and meet now and then. They are rather guarded about their personal information, but are obviously attracted to one another. They get to know each other over time. She reads his book and likes it.Eventually they talk about anything and everything. Their careers change over time. They discuss the meaning of what they do. They deal with life events.When he is about to get married (she has been for some time), they talk about dropping their mates and marrying each other. But somehow it does not happen.They have some tough times as well, such as when they talk about why they have not married each other. The ambivalence shines through again.Some of their pretend conversations about possible lives together are fantasy, but still priceless. The acting by Chris Messina and Marin Ireland was very nuanced.She gets pregnant, and decides to rear the child with her husband of record. Both of them have trouble dealing with it, but it's the decision that involves the least damage. Other changes come along, like his inability to drink coffee, due to a stomach condition.Will they keep meeting, or will their married lives force that tradition to break? -------Scores-------Cinematography: 9/10 Fine, except for the occasional camera shake.Sound: 9/10 No problems.Acting: 10/10 The two principals are quite good.Screenplay: 9/10 Well told evolution of a long-lasting affair between two people who are more than friends.Strong resemblance to 'Same Time, Next Year' with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn, 1978.

cseon This Slice of Life film seems to have been pieced together from the submissions of a 28-student class of fledgling Screen Writers. Each scene has the same framework, which identifies the requirements of the screen writing teacher. From that point on, each Student is given the freedom to flesh out their scene as they see fit in order to make each of them unique in some fashion. The Casting Director was lucky to cast a pair of actors who have the skill and experience necessary to fulfill each of the student screen writer's dialog and directions. However, the way the scenes are pieced together make the 82 Minute length seem like the film is dragging in some scenes.

Tejas Nair 28 Hotel Rooms starts as it intrigues. The title itself is kinda kinky. So does the sequences. More than 40% of the movie is either sex, blunt nudity and laziness.Chris Messina is dapper as he perfectly portrays the role of a new writer who has just entered the business, while Miss Ireland acts dumb till the climax. Her sleek bod was a ten-o-ten for the role. The chemistry between them is far-fetched and is authentic but the screenplay sometimes goes into monotony and although it is related, I yawned thrice or twice. Conversations go boring through the middle as the story suffocates 'tself to advance. And finally, when it advances, it a chilled climax rather than one would expect after all those heated, naughty bedroom encounters.One should expect lots of sex, nudity (top-to-toe) and conversational prose in this honest movie as the hard-ons and orgasms and the emotions are true to be reel. It is little boring to spend 80 minutes watching a perhaps known story where they tried to add some erotica but fail... utterly.BOTTOM LINE: It is not a must-watch, but if you find to get the DVD, you may give it a try because somewhere between the lines, there is a message about adultery/promiscuity hidden.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
