When haughty and patronizing tycoon Christian Hanover (Anthony Higgins) comes to the hotel for a rendezvous with his mistress Andy Hart (Gabrielle Anwar), Doug sees the opportunity to convince Christian to invest the $3 million in his dream of a hotel. So, Doug willingly agrees to baby-sit Andy when Christian has to leave her to see his wife. But the more time he spends with Andy, the more affectionate he feels toward her, until finally he has fallen in love with her. Now Doug must make a choice concerning what he really wants -- his dream of a hotel or the love of Andy. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    It was predictable, for the most part. And they shouldn't give the name Christian to such a nasty guy. I've also figured out that woman have no sense of proper and decent dress, next thing you know they won't wear anything and I won't be able to go outside without throwing up. ... read moreIt was okay, but I wouldn't watch it again.

    It's an older movie...made in the early 90's...but it's pretty good. It kind of makes you want to work to have his job and work in a hotel.

Okay romantic comedy. Fox's concierge bits are the highlight, and the standard romance is fine.

Fox's good-guy charm elevates the material ... a lot.
