Synopsis:
From the novel by John Irving, comes this darkly comic tale of an eccentric New England family. As the father moves them from one place to the next, setting up a new hotel each time, the assortment of oddball characters seem to become involved in ever more bizarre situations. Frannie becomes obsessed with the boy who attacks her, John becomes obsessed with Frannie, his sister, and both of them fall for a girl who is so insecure she hides in a bear outfit, Frank is coming to terms with his homosexuality, and the youngest, Lilly, is convinced she isn't growing. The family pet is a flatulent dog that ends up stuffed and causes more trouble than when it was alive.

Random stuff happens until it ends - The Hotel New Hampshire review by DM

A gruelling waste of time. Irving's story rehashes ideas from his other novels and by the ending (which seems to come tantalizingly close several times, only for the thing to stutter on) you're just praying for it to finish. Unengaging and uninspired.

Ghastly - The Hotel New Hampshire review by PM

Spoiler Alert

I lasted 20 minutes, couldn't watch it. It seemed to me like superficial self indulgent Americana. We can do this so we will. Maybe if I'd watched a bit longer there would have been something to redeem it, but I had no sense of any kind of plot or character development. Too many tired and frankly repulsive tropes to continue!
