The movie is sweet and romantic without being overly trashy. It was funny without being ridiculous. And it had a message without waving a finger in my face. Its fast, its enjoyable and it just keeps you going. Reminds me of "the paper" - movie. Michael Keaton nails it, like J Fox nails this one.This movie will entertain you from the fast first act to the end credits. 1993 was important film year for me. This was the first romantic comedy i ever seen. And still it is top3 on romantic comedy's on my list..Love it. Love J Fox.

In NYC, Doug Ireland (Michael J. Fox) is a master of deals as concierge in the classy Bradbury hotel. He has a heart of gold protecting some of the older workers from manager Mr. Himmelman. He even takes care of a cheapskate guest like Harry Wegman. Ed Drinkwater from the IRS is on his case. He dreams of owning his own hotel and he hopes billionaire investor Christian Hanover is his ticket. He is infatuated with store perfume girl Andy Hart (Gabrielle Anwar) who claims to have a boyfriend. It turns out she's Hanover's mistress and he's forced to cover for Hanover as he needs the deal more.This is a barely functional romance. It's mostly riding on the shoulders of Michael J. Fox and he's plenty charming by himself. The romance is questionable. It's not well set up and a bit more back story could have helped. The villain is underwhelming. Overall this is a watchable and unimpressive rom-com.

I have seen this film about 4 times and always enjoy it. Michael J. Fox is perfect as the hotel concierge that seems to know everyone and takes care of everyone but himself. The premise is not unrealistic and the support characters perfect NY caricatures. Lots of fun cameos and "big" little roles add up to an entertaining film that never gets boring. Great party scene at the Long Island mansion, wonderful interaction with bellman Fyvush Finkel and look for one of my favorite TV and movie small role players Erik Avari as a seedy jewelery/pawn shop owner. You'll win brownie points with the wife or girlfriend by renting this one and it's funny enough to keep the guys happy as well.

When I knew that Michael J. Fox, made another romantic movie in 1993 (after doc Hollywood) I really got excited. So, all I wanted to do, was to found this movie. I saw trailer and I thought it was very interesting to watch. And NOW I DID IT. Anyway, I think that it's a very good movie, I always liked Michael J. Fox, but the truth is that I expected a little bit more of romance. I was missing something.I do not know if you are agree with me, but the real Michael J. Fox is found in TV series, I mean, Family Ties and Spin City are ten times better. But I can't deny the fact that I love when he is romantic.Bye.
