Predrag Four Rooms is a very unique film. It is a collection of four stories directed by four different directors. Although the film can be hit and miss it is very enjoyable for a number of reasons mainly due to the interesting set up, great performances and offbeat tone. The film is about a single night on New Year's Eve in a failing hotel and follows Ted the only bellhop on duty on his first night in the job. However the job isn't as simple as it first appears as Ted goes through a number of unusual events and meetings in four very different hotel rooms. These include meeting a coven of witches in 'The Missing Ingredient', being held at gun point in 'The Wrong Man', having to look after two energetic children in 'The Misbehaviours' and being drawn into a crazy bet in 'The Man From Hollywood'. The story is wild and all over the place as to be expected in this type of film. The first story is funny in parts, while the second betters it with some really funny dialogue. The latter two are the best, the third is full of energy and the last is typical witty Tarantino.The cast is very good. Tim Roth is simply magnificent as Ted and is the best thing about the film. It's a very different performance for Roth as he's allowed to go over the top and manic, but he makes himself very likable which is key as he is the only actor in every story. Antonio Banderas is very funny in a more conventional role, David Proval makes for a great nutcase, Jennifer Beals is good and Marisa Tomei is fun in her short appearance. While in the last story the trio of Tarantino, Paul Calderon and Bruce Willis are just brilliant.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

zaremskya-23761 This film has an interesting premise - four separate rooms with four unique stories told by four different directors. The setup, however, collapses under its own weight, as the differing viewpoints and various styles just confuse each other, leading to an unsatisfying payoff.The directors are talented, the actors do their jobs just fine, but the gimmicky nature of the film makes it difficult to fully enjoy. It becomes kind of a circus. I'd say the best part is the finger scene at the end, but you have to get through the whole movie just for that.I would recommend viewing each directors' work separately, instead of this failed attempt to weave their styles together in a hotel setting.

Mike Fredensborg 4 directors, 4 segments. If you watch this movie, you will have to crunch the urge to cancel watching, for a good 30mins. You have to work your way through some complete weirdo scripts and acting. The two first segments, really don't need to be in this movie, but are worth watching, for the balance you then get by watching the last 2 segments.Quentin Tarantino... well hold on, let me back up a bit. If any of you know about Joe Satriani, super guitarist, and his G3 project, Q.T. is doing what Joe does with those G3 tours. Joe Satriani invites 2 of the worlds best rock-guitarists to do this G3 tour with him. -and i mean great awesome guitarists. Then he lets them play some insanely good solos, and then Joe takes over and runs circles around them, playing, and sounding, 10x better than them.Quentin did exactly that with this movie, intentionally or not. Q.T. sort of let's those 3 other directors 'borrow' his gear and set, to let them have a go at his filming style. And then Quentin finishes it all off with a stellar performance, both as an actor, and script writer, and of course director, that leaves you thinking "wow, it was really really worth not giving up halfway through this movie"THE END.

jcbutthead86 Four Rooms is a terrific,hilarious and underrated Comedy that's filled with great direction,a brilliant performance from Tim Roth and a wonderful cast and amazing laughs. All of those elements make Four Rooms a memorable Comedy that is worth your time.Set in Los Angeles,Californa on New Years Eve Four Rooms tells the stories of Ted(Tim Roth),a new Hotel bellhop working at the fictional Hotel Mon Signor on New Years Eve on his first night on the job. While there Ted gets involved with four Comedic,different and interconnected tales with some weird and offbeat Hotel guests on a night Ted will never forget.Released in 1995,Four Rooms is a wonderful and hilarious Comedy that was directed at the time by independent film makers such as Allison Anders(Gas Food Lodging),Alexandre Rockwell(In The Soup),Robert Rodriguez(El Mariachi,Desperado)and last but certainly not least Quentin Tarantino(Pulp Fiction,Reservoir Dogs)doing four different tales with an all-star cast. However,despite the talented names involved Four Rooms was not a Box Office success and was panned by the critics which is very unfortunate because Four Rooms is a fantastic movie that is very overlooked and better than it's reputation but at the same time Four Rooms is a film that seems to have found a small Cult audience since it's 1995 release. Four Rooms is a great movie that is just hilarious and a fun blast from start to finish giving viewers an anthology film which is usually for the Horror genre but instead of an anthology Horror film we get an anthology Comedy done in a demented style that just never stops and is the kind of movie that is perfect to watch on New Years Eve. The Comedy and laughs in Four Rooms funny, hilarious and is done with a surreal and offbeat style that is wild and insane because when you watch Four Rooms you never know what's going to happen next with some situations being surprising which is why the movie works so well. The main character Ted is funny and memorable because most of the things that happen in the film are seen from his point of view and when things get bad we are rooting for to get out of it while laughing at the insanity that happens to him from the dangerous to the very weird. We as the viewer wonder will Ted lose his cool or just explode. Four Rooms should be used as a training video(or a warning)for anyone who wants to work at a Hotel. The first story "The Missing Ingredient" while amusing and filled with beautiful Actresses is the weakest of the four stories because there are a few nice moments the Humor is few and far between with no real payoff. Things are much better and fun in the second story with "The Wrong Man",a complete laugh fest where Ted(in a bad case of mistaken identity)is asked at gunpoint to play in a sex and hostage game with husband and wife Sigfried(David Proval)and Angela(Jennifer Beals). I think many would agree that the best segment(and my personal favorite)in the whole entire film is "The Misbehavers",an hilarious and laugh a minute tale that finds Ted being paid money to look after a husband(Antonio Bandaras)and wife's(Tamlyn Tomita) two children(Lana McKissack and Danny Verduzco). Imagined if Ted had to baby sit Bart and Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons and going through a hellish situation and you get that with The Misbevavers with scenes that are funny and unpredictable with a crazy energy that is insane,wild and will have you roaring with laughter. The last segment of the film is "The Man From Hollywood",a tale about a famous Hollywood director(Quentin Tarantino)who is having his own New Years Eve party and asks Ted to play in a bizarre game and bet. The Man From Hollywood in true Tarantino fashion is the most dialog filled of the four stories and like Tarantino's other movies the dialog is memorable and fun with a great conclusion. The ending of Four Rooms is amazing and Humorous with a twisted style and is a fitting ending that matches the rest of the film. A fantastic conclusion.The cast is great. Tim Roth is excellent and hilarious as Ted,The Bellhop,with Roth bringing an amazing and over the top comic energy to the film. Valeria Golino(Athena),Madonna(Elsepth),Ione Skye(Eva),Lili Taylor(Raven),Alicia Witt(Kiva),Sammi Davis(Jezebel),Amanda De Cadenet(Diana),Jennifer Beals(Angela),David Proval(Sigfried)Antonio Banderas(Man),Tamlyn Tomita(Wife),Lana McKissack(Sarah),Danny Verduzco(Juancho),Selma Hayek(TV Dancing Girl)Quentin Tarantino(Chester),Bruce Willis(Leo),Paul Caulderon(Norman),Marisa Tomei(Margaret),Kathy Griffin(Betty)and Marc Lawrence(Sam The Bellhop)give good performances as well.The direction by Ailson Anders,Alexander Rockwell,Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino is amazing and memorable with each director bringing a different style and pace to the film and always moving the camera. Great direction by all of them.The score by Combustible Edison is great,amusing and quirky matching the movie's tone perfectly. Nice score,Edison.In final word,if you love Comedies,Anthology films,Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez,I highly suggest you see Four Rooms,a terrific,hilarious and underrated Comedy that is worth your time. Highly Recommended, 9.5/10.
