steve-3873 I've just read about 5 reviews panning this movie, one went so far as to call it the worst movie ever. What? I guess maybe it was too fast for them, they only like snuff films, or their diploma from film school stipulated that they can only find enjoyment in movies of over 3 hours that explain, through obscure symbolism, the whole mystery of human existence. Whatever, they have lost or maybe never had the ability to enjoy entertainment for entertaining only, no deep characters, no profound message, just slapstick. Someone complained about no "character development" fer chrissake! What? You needed to know what made Brown a hit-man, What school Moore went to? I guess my last thought would be; what then possessed them to watch this movie and write a review? Just to show how "culturny" they are compared to all of the simpletons who enjoyed the film? Get over your snooty selves! It's a funny film that you don't have to think about, just titter for 80+ minutes, then forget it and go on with your life.

Lee Eisenberg For the most part, "Blame It on the Bellboy" is low comedy: a bellhop (Bronson Pinchot) in a Venice hotel confuses the invitations going to a realtor (Dudley Moore), a philanderer (Richard Griffiths) and a mafioso (Bryan Brown), sending each man to the wrong location. There are some funny situations along the way - most of which involve the bellhop himself - but I think that it would have come out a little better had they cast someone other than Dudley Moore; Chevy Chase, Steve Martin or Dan Aykroyd could have done that role easily.So, it's a nice, silly way to pass time. But don't bother with it more than once. All the cast members have done better than this.In H-H-Honolulu, H-H-Hawaii for a wh-wh-whole h-h-half h-h-hour...

Bjorn (ODDBear) Three men; Orton, Horton and Lawton find themselves in unorthodox situations due to the misunderstanding of a bellboy.This farcical comedy is right on the mark. Clever misunderstandings arise and they're all well played out, with a willing cast who aim to please. Dudley Moore is especially appealing here in one of his last screen roles. Bronson Pinchot is also a riot as the world's worst bellboy.The script is tight, I felt it could have been even longer, some plot holes but who cares? It's very funny all the way. Using beautiful scenery from lovely Venice, the film gets even more of an appeal. I can't see how one can dislike a film like this.

helpless_dancer Low rent comedy, but still offered a few laughs. Pinchot seems to be typecast in this sort of role as the stupid, confused foreigner. The chief of the thugs is also another guy we see playing the insane killer a lot, but both players do their jobs well. Overall, I liked this one, it was better than I expected and offered some nice shots of Venice.
