The Motel
Thirteen-year-old Ernest Chin lives and works at a sleazy hourly-rate motel on a strip of desolate suburban bi-way. Misunderstood by his family and blindly careening into puberty, Ernest befriends Sam Kim, a self-destructive yet charismatic Korean man who has checked in. Sam teaches the fatherless boy all the rites of manhood.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The Motel has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.1/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A 2005 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
