    Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
    Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
    bg11215-366-263177 OK, so the writing wasn't nearly as good as the Golden Girls. Sometimes the jokes were thin. And the humor wasn't nearly as witty. Nevertheless, I think the format worked. Also I like the other characters (Roland, Chuy & the kid). Some episodes were hilarious. I kind of wish it had lasted longer than one season. I guess it must have had low ratings. But still I like this show and think it was funny. It didn't deal with serious themes as GG did, but still I find it a nice spin-off to one of the greatest shows in TV history. I recommend it! See it. See it now. Watch it tonight and experience the laughs with familiar faces for the first time all over again.
    ungy357 While many have probably never considered this obvious fact, it its impossible not to consider the parallels between Don Cheadle sheltering Tusti refugees in a hotel and Don Cheadle sheltering The Golden Girls in a hotel. In fact, the Oscar-nominated film is really little more than a pale remake of this inspirational series, with Nick Nolte taking the place of Betty White in strikingly similar roles. Some day perhaps this classic will be released on DVD, and we will see where the story truly began, but for now, those who watch "Hotel Rwanda" can merely view Cheadle's rescue of the refugees and gratefully think "Thank you for bein' a friend."
    Danorgan It was a perfectly good series! Why did they have to cancel it. I still have episodes on tape but haven't seen all. I know Dorothy's loss in 1992 was a hard one and I am glad they tried to keep the other three going. Just because Dorothy was gone, wasn't a reason to "kill-off" the other three! I was outraged when this show was cancelled! I wish someone would air reruns like, once a week! Once a week because there were only 24 episodes and it wouldn't repeat as often. Or lifetime could show it after they show The Golden Girls finale and then start The Golden Girls over again! COME ON!
    Andy B-8 It was very sad when The Golden Girls came to an end in 1992 with the departure of Bea Arthur - but it was some consulation when this series followed - if only for one season.The writing was still sharp and dialogue brilliant and played with the usual excellence of the three remaining cast. Unfortunately Dorothy's absence was seriously noticeable and probably played a big part in it not going past 24 episodes. Don Cheadle and Cheech Marin could not fill the void.The best episode was of course the two-parter where Dorothy visited the hotel.Still vintage stuff but sadly a show that will be forgotten in the shadow of it's excellent predecessor.
