  • Summary: Forty-year-old Alice is beautiful, dynamic and passionate about modern art. She
    works in a Paris bank with her two best friends, Pénélope and Isabelle. Her life
    would be perfect if her husband hadn’t suddenly been killed a few years before in a
    motorcycle accident, leaving her alone an    e and bereft. Pénélope and Isabelle think it’s
    high time for her to turn the page and start making a new life for herself, but Alice
    doesn’t want to put the best part of her life so far behind her and rejects every man
    her well-intentioned friends suggest. They are determined to make her happy,
    despite her lack of enthusiasm, so they treat her to a weekend at the Hotel
    Normandy, a luxury hotel and perfect place for a romantic encounter. But who will
    be the lucky guy? [Rialto Pictures]    … Expand

    Hôtel Normandy is a confection spun differently from the typical Hollywood rom-com.

    Nemes incorporates some ironic juxtaposition between conversation and action, but he primarily ensures that the tone shifts breezily from wish-fulfillment travelogue to comedy of errors to improbable buddy romp.

    This overly convoluted and contrived farce features a typically scenic setting and an engaging performance by Helena Noguerra in the central role but otherwise has little to recommend it.

    Another well-upholstered but cheap exercise in luxe pandering that fails as romantic farce.

    There isn't a moment in Hôtel Normandy that isn't painfully contrived, yet, worse still, its mix-ups boast all the inspiration and excitement of a weekend getaway at the local mall.
