Product: The Million Dollar Hotel (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Every Once In Awhile ...
you see a movie that escapes classification or definition. I don't even know if it is a good movie or a bad movie; certainly it is a creative, imaginative work that is full of life. It defines itself completely on it's own terms. It isn't a movie so much as an experience. It's a poem. It's a quirky little film. It is a song with classy tidbits of wit, political/social commentary, art farce, and human insight just tossed off as incidental. Certainly, the movie haunts you. The pace is slow, it's true. Skinner is a complete mystery. The lines that annoy some of the professional reviewers are my favorites: "Izzy". "Izzy what?", just so cool ! or TomTom saying: "I'd like to read a book but I can't decide which one." Offbeat humor at its finest. Maybe you hate it, maybe you love it. See it for yourself - don't let anybody make up your mind for you. The people who live in The Million Dollar Hotel don't.
