Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Forty-something Irene had a dream job that made her life easy: she was indeed a luxury hotel inspector and her work got carried out in a wonderful ever-renewed setting, from Paris to Gstaad to Berlin to Morocco to China… But does a dream job necessarily mean a dream life? Irene tried not to ask herself the question too openly. Yes she was single but she had manged to remain on good terms with Andrea, her former life companion. For sure she was childless but she occasionally took care of her two little nieces. And it was such fun to play the mystery guest in those magnificent hotels… Things could have gone on that way hadn’t one day Irene met Kate Sherman…”

Poster: C+ / C / C-

Review: The first and third designs are more exotic than the hokey romantic comedy aspect of the second design. The first is the most visually pleasing, evoking a number of emotions with quick ease. Meanwhile, the third design is only vaguely exotic once you realize the setting on display.

Trailer: B-

Review: There may be more to the film than the trailer suggests. There are several tepid hints at a romance being at the heart of the film, but the trailer seems content on focusing mostly on the protagonist’s job, which while central to the plot, doesn’t give much time for other explorations.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
