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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Four Rooms - Five Stars
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.
Rating:  - One room too many
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 member and David Proval ... Read More
Rating: - Eye's of the Bell Boy
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: - No masterpiece, but very entertaining.
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.
Rating: - Classic Comedy
You know, I've seen this thing reviewed anywhere from one to five stars and I find that amusing. This is a classic comedy and one of those rare movies that simply gets better and better as it goes along. This is up there with Slapshot, No time for Sergeants, and A Night at the Opera. The moments that are clever and funny in this movie are as clever and as funny as a movie can get.
It's simply a movie about bellhop, played perfectly by Tim Roth, at a "on the way back" Hollywood Hotel on New Years Eve. Bruce Willis, Marisa Tomei, Kathy Griffin, Antonio Banderas, David Proval, Jennifer Beals and Tamlyn Tomita play their parts perfectly.
This is a movie you have to pay attention to if you want to get all the humor, much of it subtle. This is a no-brainer 5 star comedy. One fo the best comedies of all time.
