HotelChatter

Hanover is a married man with an attractive mistress who he foolishly puts in Doug's care while he's off on business trips and the like. Naturally, Doug falls for the mistress--Andy--and in the end decides her love is more important than wooing an investor for his money.

Throughout the movie, you see Doug's relationship with all the hotel staffers (like his devotion to the hotel bellhop) and all the crazy things he has to do for his guests. Sample Quote: "I'm a genie in a suit, just rub me and make a wish. " But all those crazy errands paid off because Doug is able to get Dan Hedaya's character, the owner of a bunch of sanitation trucks, to put his trucks in the path of Christian and Andy as they head to the airport for Paris. (P.S. Hedaya has a hairy back.)

Then Doug is able to scoop Andy up, tell her how much she means to him and whisk her away. In the end, the couple get married at the hotel. Ah...yes, the hotel. Well it seems as if the setting for some of the interior hotel shots was the former Plaza Hotel which won't be recognizable when it reopens in January 2008.

And sadly, hoteliers never seem to have this sort of scrappy concierge background. Jason Pomeranc and Andre Balazs started out in real-estate development and nightclubs, respectively. Balazs actually went to Cornell and we hear Pomeranc was a lawyer before he got into the family's real estate biz.
