The problem with a lot of films that revolve around a central concept is the rest of the film suffers because the writer figures that one idea can carry the film.
While "Century Hotel" is far from "brilliant" or a "must see" but it is quite good. It's cleverness is nicely balanced with sincere emotion and gender/socio-political commentary.
Also the chance to see Chantal Kreviazuk playing maid and Raine Maida as a paranoid, drug, addict, agoraphobic rock star is too tempting to pass up.
One of the better English Canadian films I've seen but if you really want to see some incredible Canadian cinema check out "Jésus de Montreal", "Léolo", "A Tout Prendre" and "Le Confessional".
