Another well-upholstered but cheap exercise in luxe pandering that fails as romantic farce.

At 40, Alice has everything a woman of her age could want - everything except one vital accessory: a man. Since her husband was killed in a road accident a few years ago, she has resisted all attempts to start a relationship with another man, despite the best efforts of her closest friends Pénélope and Isabelle. As a last resort, the latter decide to offer Alice a stay at the Hôtel Normandy, the ideal place for her to turn over a new leaf...
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by Daniel M. Gold
Hôtel Normandy is a confection spun differently from the typical Hollywood rom-com.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
This overly convoluted and contrived farce features a typically scenic setting and an engaging performance by Helena Noguerra in the central role but otherwise has little to recommend it.
There isn't a moment in Hôtel Normandy that isn't painfully contrived, yet, worse still, its mix-ups boast all the inspiration and excitement of a weekend getaway at the local mall.
