Normally I'm not a fan of infidelity in films. I think monogamy is ideal and my feelings haven't changed. But 28 Hotel Rooms brings up the question "Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time?" What if you're a happy relationship and unexpectedly meet a person who MIGHT be your soulmate? Do you stay in your stable relationship while you pine for someone else? Do you leave that relationship for the new person that you have known for a much more briefly? Maybe it's not black and white.

The story is fine. There are only two characters in the entire movie, don't expect a big production. Filmed out of a holiday inn in Canada. The story is fine.

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.

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.
