  • Summary: In this sexy, surprising romance, a man and a woman meet each other in a hotel while they are both traveling on business. Flirtation leads to a feverish night of sex that both find hard to forget. Although she’s married, and he has a girlfriend, their intense attraction turns a seemingly casasual one-night stand into a continual series of passionate hotel trysts, uniting them in a profound and unconventional relationship. Unfolding as a collage of moments—some sexy, some innocent, some profound, some silly—-28 Hotel Rooms is an intimate portrait of an affair in which two people wrestle with the intoxication of sex and the confusion of loving more than one person.

    In its own small way, by documenting the petty panic of two people who want to be together but are otherwise entangled, 28 Hotel Rooms is often masterful.

    Despite the familiar setup, this is no "Same Time, Next Year," what with its hot-sheets trysts, full-frontal flashes and frank language. But the brief - sometimes very brief - encounters glimpsed here between the film's leads and sole characters (billed only as "Man" and "Woman") are inventive and telling.

    Messina and Ireland thrive under that gaze, and dismaying affectations aside-the characters go needlessly unnamed - the movie articulates the enduring allure of a love defined, and heightened, by restrictions.

    We're supposed to take their self-pity at face value, an impression that's emphasized by a grinding monotonous humorlessness.
