adonis98-743-186503 The film talks about a family that weathers all sorts of disasters and keeps going in spite of it all. It is noted for its wonderful assortment of oddball characters. The Hotel New Hampshire is weird, confusing and even a bit lame, the film starts with a Bear riding a bike and going threw a table, then it gets even crazier when it chases a motorcycle and Rob Lowe goes in a fast forward and as a whole the movie is weird and the acting isn't that good and overall it's a waste of time.

TedMichaelMor The film is John Irving weird and thus delightful in its way. The sense of light in the film is what delights me, almost delights me most about the movie. I recall lines from an Alun Lewis poem "Remember in the play of happiness . . . the joy is in the sharing of the feast. . . . ." I think that is what makes this film—a sense of shared joy, of exultation. The interplay of symbols and references passes easily enough and one almost smiles—almost.What most deeply touched me was the character Lilly. I know her. The image of her not passing the windows but going to them while the wind blows through the large empty room echoes many films after the gentle scene of Lilly returning to her typewriter to write the simple message, "Sorry, just not big enough. " I have been there and know why she refuses to pass the window.For me, that is all the film really needs to be outstanding. That is the film for me.
willdavis69 I am a big movie fan and I'm certainly not one to ever tell anyone what to watch and to not try to enjoy a movie each his own we all have our own tastes and opinions but I have to say for a film with so much talent involved I hated this film in fact it probably ranks as one of the worse if not the worse film I ve ever seen!!!In fact just like another reviewer wrote I specifically decided to review this film because of how terrible it was and bad taste this film left in my mouth, but again this is just my opinion watch it and make up your own mind This whole film though I realize it was trying to be quirky didn't make any sense at all.
lndkramer I turned this movie on only because I like Rob Lowe, especially in his younger days. But even he was annoying in this movie. He spent his days lifting weights but was still the scrawniest kid you could imagine. The story made no sense, had no action, no drama, was very confusing, and nobody gave a s*** about any of the characters, at least I didn't. I didn't understand why they kept moving their hotel, why they had the dog stuffed after he died, or what the theme of this movie was even supposed to be. Rob Lowe and Jodie Foster were blood brother and sister but had an amazing time having sex which was uncomfortable to even watch. Do not watch this movie, please. Nothing redeeming about it, and no reason to check it out. I can't do justice how much I didn't like it in words but just heed my warning.
