In one room, a coven of young witches congregate to bring their leader back from the dead... and they're just dying to use Ted in a rather personal way. In another room, the bellhop becomes a pawn in a couple's kinky psychological games. A third room is being torn apart by two unruly kids while their parents are out painting the town red. And in a fourth, three men involve Ted in a bet -- one that has potentially bloody results. [More]

  • Four Rooms
  • Don't miss the fun in this hilariously sexy comedy that has Antonio Banderas (THE MASK OF ZORRO), Madonna (EVITA), and a sizzling all-star cast checking in for laughs! 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!

    A ghastly train wreck of a movie, littered with the corpses of promising careers.

    They should have called this One Room and released it as a Rodriguez short.

    Maybe if you're a young, raw Hollywood aspirant, you believe that it's a sign of sophistication to be unrattled by the bizarre.

    If anything, it may give pause to those who think Tarantino can do no wrong.

    An over-anticipated, overworked movie that was full of talent but devoid of taste.

    The segments are uniformly weak.

    Even Tim Roth, an otherwise dependable actor, disappoints with overacting.

    The result is a batch of shrill, self-indulgent sketches that turn so wretched in spots you start to wonder if the filmmakers wanted them to be bad.

    Four of the hottest indie directors--Anders, Rockwell, Tarantino, and Rodrigues--miss a unique opportunity to display their idiosyncratic talents resulting in a tedious anthology in which 2 segments are inept, one barely decent, and one OK (guess whose)

    Four Rooms asserts itself as a goof so laboriously and aggressively that you almost feel pinned back in your seat.

    Four Rooms has to be one of 1995's major disappointments.

    We all have fun goofing around with our friends -- it's just that when you're four hot-hot-hot directors, you can goof around with your friends and get Miramax to release it, with predictably unimpressive results.
