Slightly repetitive, but with good reason. Loved the honest performances from both actors, as well as the peaky narrative of their relationship. what I didn't quite like was the dialogues. an affair's passion embarks for deeper conversations on both parties. After all, they crave for something out of the ordinary, and the excitement lacked in their choice of words.

Chris Messina plays a whiny , self absorbed author who thinks he's all that by breaking up a marriage. The reviewer that said this was a "very deep" movie wasn't watching the same movie I was. Just a terrible movie about adulterers. Keep it zipped and you won't lead with your prick Chris. Grow up !

I'm writing a review because I don't think people should avoid watching it based on the low rating. Yes, the movie is filmed in nothing but hotel rooms and with only two actors BUT there is actually more to it than it sounds. I honestly found myself get a little restless in the beginning but I still was interested in finding out what was going to happen to them. After about 15-20 minutes it picked up for me and I didn't feel the need fast forward it. I've always felt like 95% of people are capable of cheating on the person the love. It just takes the wrong kind of day with the perfect opportunity and BAM! I actually wish I didn't feel like that but I'm almost 43 now and I have felt like that for as long as I can remember. So I can see how they ended up in the mess that they did. Though "the husband" was never in the movie I felt really bad for him, even if he didn't know anything about it.

It's an emotional movie. If you aren't into that, then this one isn't for you.

I was a little disappointed in this movie. The concept reminded me of the Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn movie - Same Time Next Year (1978). The actors Chris Messina and Marin Ireland are attractive enough to care about them, separately and together, but through the entire movie I wanted their characters to move beyond individual selfishness. The 1978 movie was much more tidy and genteel, but also covered specific milestones of an affair lasting over 25 years. In this 2012 production, you have to guess if their meeting intervals are weeks, months or years apart. Perhaps 28 Hotel Rooms gives us the filler years of the untidy and crass aspects of a long lasting love affair. I am not sure if I would have stayed with the movie if it had gone beyond 90 minutes.

This movie is very deep, great acting. Not just a surface level movie. Explores deeper questions about love.
