Guest House Paradiso (1999)

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mayall and Edmondson take their Bottom incarnations, even thought they claim in interviews they haven't, and put them in charge of the worst Hotel in the UK.There is some sort of incoherent plot going on though. The hotel is next to a Nuclear Power Plant, and obviously Eddie and Richie are awful to their customers, so hilarity ensues.A famous film start comes to stay at the Hotel, and a family stay there too, as they cannot afford anywhere else. But the plot thickens when the stars husband comes chasing after her, and the fish is off..Remember the movies, The Boys in Blue, Holiday On The Buses, and Alien Autopsy? You're on the same path with this abomination.It must have sounded really good at the time, and admittedly, its a little nostalgic to see the two characters on the big screen, but then they start to act, and speak, and you realise they are best left to a thirty minute slot on BBC 2.They fight, swear, and are nasty to their guest, and then at the end, every one vomits....that's the film.Its pretty bad stuff, but you could get some fun out of it now, seeing people like Bill Nighy and Simon Pegg in this.I bet they love this on their C.V.

This is maybe the best slapstick-movie I ever seen. The first ten minutes I'm laughing without breathing. The movie seems to be senseless, but try to watch out the many references to other movies. The poor people who visit "Guesthouse Paradiso" are very unfortunate, but sometimes I can feel with the director of the Hotel, too. The good old dark British humor as it's best. It don't must hide behind "Death at a funeral" or other movies like this. So if you like to watch people fighting till the end, physical and psychical, or laugh about senseless and maybe bad tasted sketches, than watch it. And be prepared for a end who blows you away!!!

i had been looking for this film for so long before i found it, i had seen it when i was younger and loved it, after my second viewing i still loved it and i still do.this is a love/hate film, if you like bottom, young ones, the comic strip, then you will find this funny. If you don't like that kind of humour then don't bother. I love this film and have grown up with these comedy programmes, for me this film is simply placing their comic genius on the big screen.. It is not an award winner by any means but if you just want good wholesome slapstick then this is it!the film lacks the quality of the TV series and this is usually the case with films but it still has enough material to keep you laughing even if a lot of the jokes are pretty similar to their previous work.yes, the humour is a little childish and not to everyone's taste but sometimes you just need that in a film.

'PHEEB'this film is fantastic the jokes are funny, the stunts look really good and the actors are one of the best in the world 'PHEEB' this film should be more highly voted than what it is. Rik and Adrian have made a truly fantastic film here.the most entertaining part of the film has to be when they are serving breakfast to there guests and they end up fighting in the kitchen just because of a stray pencil in Eddie's eye and the same pencil goes up Richard's*bleep*where it snaps.this is a must see film for people with a crude sense of humour and arn't very squeamish
