Bobby (2006)

Several characters living or working at a hotel at which a politician is about to be assassinated.

I suppose this is in the same line of Vicki Baum or Arthur Hailey, although I have not read their respective hotel novels. Parts of this are mildly interesting, and here I am thinking especially at all the bits involving the hotel kitchen employees; I haven't the slightest clue as to why on Earth we should be interested, e.g. in the adultery subplot, or in the lonely old chess player. They have nothing to do with politics or the 60's, and they're too unspecific to fit in with the rest of the film.
