It's Ted the Bellhop's (Tim Roth -- PULP FICTION) first night on the job ... and the hotel's very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments! It seems that this evening's room service is serving up one unbelievable happening ... after another! Also featuring Academy Award(R) winner Marisa Tomei (1992 Best Supporting Actress, MY COUSIN VINNY), FOUR ROOMS is a wild night of highly original comedy entertainment you'll enjoy ... without reservations!
Amazon.com:
This unbearable quartet of stories was written and directed by hot filmmakers Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi), Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging), and Alexandre Rockwell (In the Soup), which only proves that even the smart guys can really blow it sometimes. The anthology is linked by the hotel in which all the events are taking place, and by Tim Roth as a bellboy flitting from scene to scene. Nobody overcomes the insufferable air of self-congratulation that permeates this exercise in forced hipness. With Bruce Willis, Madonna, Lili Taylor, Ione Skye, Jennifer Beals, and Antonio Banderas. --Tom Keogh

Ted the Bellhop: I'm in a situation I can't begin to explain
Four Rooms is a project where four directors each write and direct a segment, all dealing with Ted the Bellhop (Tim Roth) in a hotel on New Year's Eve. In this case, old acquaintances should be forgot, and the Bellhop is not getting a tip. Though Tim Roth is a good actor, he couldn't save this project, and with four directors, four directions, it was a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. In Tarantino's segment he refers to the movie "The Bell Boy," and Jerry Lewis' performance in which he never uttered a single word. Genius it was, but Tim Roth is no Jerry Lewis, nor is he a Charlie Chaplin, or even a Johnny Depp playing a lost soul with a Buster Keaton fixation such as he did in "Benny and Joon." The role was created with Steve Buscemi in mind, but even he couldn't have saved this project.
Since the duties were split four ways, the blame can also be divvied up, but Quentin seems to be the chief instigator, and he had the audacity to not only write, direct, and star in his segment, but he was annoying in all three capacities. Though it went nowhere, the first segment was entertaining for a few brief seconds, just because it featured a bevy of beauties, Madonna, Lili Taylor, Ione Skye, Amanda De Cadenet, etc., as a coven of witches; and Alicia Witt as Madonna's bratty young punque roque girlfriend. I heart Alicia Witt, because she is a smart and sassy red head. Kathy Griffin, another ... Read More

Tarintino returns with his steady cast of players for another supremely entertaining show. Four Rooms moves the talent around with Tim Ross running with the lead.
The cast is, as always in Quentin's movies, fabulous.
The script, as always in Quentin's movies, fabulous.
A don't miss for Tarintino fans. A should see for just about everyone else 8 to 80.

Four Rooms is a collaborative effort with Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino all writing and directing a short film that concerns one bellboy in one hotel on a very weird New Year's eve. Ted (Tim Roth) is that bellboy who encounters everything from witches, one very jealous husband, a couple of misbehaving kids, and some very inebriated Hollywood players on this New Year's Eve which incidentally happens to be his first night on the job. In the first film directed by Anders entitled The Missing Ingredient six witches are planning on resurrecting a witch who died too young on her wedding night. Each witch is supposed to have brought something in order for the ritual to work stuff like breast milk, a virgin's blood and another ingredient which let's just say they need a man for. That man is Ted as one of the witches (Ione Skye) is in charge of relieving Ted of the ingredient. For me the Missing Ingredient in this film was Ione Skye's top. It was nice to see Diane Court letting loose of her inhibitions in this one. Other sexy witches included Valeria Golino, Lili Taylor, Alicia Witt, and unfortunately Madonna. Fun stuff to get this film going. The second and worst of the films is The Wrong Man directed by Rockwell and starring his then wife Jennifer Beals as a wife who accuses Ted of being the reason she is tied up and held at gunpoint by her husband who thinks she is sleeping with Ted. Beals does have one good monologue about Ted's gigantic ... Read More

A look at what a bell boy see's in 4 rooms in a hotel on his first night on the job and nothing goes right. Including murder.
Rating: -
Taking place in a hotel this movie is about Ted the bell boys experience working alone on New Years Eve with four different rooms occupied by some rather eccentric guests, each room directed by a different director.
I wont go into a description of each room, its been done a few times already but I must admit the first two rooms were moderately funny if not slightly boring but if your like me dont let it discourage you give the movie a chance. The last two rooms are in my opinion worth the wait completely, in fact I went out and bought the dvd after renting it because of them, movies dont often make me cry from laughter. Tim Roth is an amazing actor in basically everything he is in but his expression and movement alone was enough to make me laugh. Apart from him Antonio Banderas and Quentin Tarantino were both exceedingly funny in this move, Banderas especially his room is by far the most hilarious. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Tim, Antonio or Quentin and to people who just generally laugh easily at stupid or random things.
