5.0 out of 5 stars A surreal black comedy, 22 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hotel New Hampshire [VHS] [1984] (VHS Tape)
A superb film that has sadly never received the acclaim it deserves. It has everything you could ever want in a black comedy from a fatal attack by a stuffed dog to the ultimate in sexual revenge involving a bear suit.

The film endlessly surprises. Not least as it is a good "brat pack" film starring Jodie Foster, Nastassja Kinski Rob Lowe, Mathew Modine and Beau Bridges.

A good film for a night in with a "close friend", but only if they are not easily offended by things decidedly not politically correct.

3.0 out of 5 stars Close but no cigar, 22 Jan 2003
This review is from: The Hotel New Hampshire [DVD] [1984] (DVD)
Too oddball to be taken seriously, but, with scenes of gang rape and incest, hardly a comedy, this strange film is enticing if you're tired of glossy computerised special effects and want to see a film which focusses on the complicated tensions within a dysfunctional but curiously solid family unit.
Some of the plotline, such as the terrorist bombing, is totally ludicrous, but strong performances from all the characters hold it all together somehow. In particular, Jodie Foster, Rob Lowe and Alan Bates all excel, but the talented Natassia Kinski, who spends most of the film wearing a bear costume, is sadly wasted here and occasionally the viewer gets the feeling that she would have preferred not to have been there at all.
Drifting from hotel to hotel, the family loses some of its members along the way but collects waifs and strays to replace them. The characters develop as their fortunes waiver, and the will-they-or-won't-they? relationship between John and his sister Frannie is an uncomfortable undercurrent which runs throughout the film.
After a strong start, the film softens and falters towards the end, but nevertheless is well worth watching if you want something a bit different.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent film, 4 Feb 2001
By joanne@sheppard.net (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hotel New Hampshire [DVD] [1984] (DVD)
The is a truely excellent film, and well worth viewing, it involves teenage angst, sexual tension, and of course one of the best actresses of our time, Jodie Foster. Rob Lowe's part is well played in the film. A truely great film, and still a teenage film for today.
