Synopsis

Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall, co-creators and stars of BOTTOM, present this bawdy comedy starring themselves as Eddie and Richie Twat (pronounced Thwaite), the owners of the Guesthouse Paradiso, a foul, malodorous Hotel in a permanent state of disrepair and situated next to a nuclear power plant. Something of a cross between BOTTOM and FAWLTY TOWERS, the film's plot finds the hotel's diminished staff put into a tizzy by the arrival of Gina Carbonara, a beautiful Italian movie star. However, the makeshift cook somehow acquires some seafood that has been irradiated by the nearby plant, thus producing some serious gastrointestinal stress on the guests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grade A film from the start, 18 Sep 2003
By Master Td Chambers "Tom Chambers" (Derby UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I own this movie on DVD and I have watched it about 10 times and it's still funny. The jokes will never get boring and I often burst out laughing at inappropriate times just thinking about them. The premise is that Richard and Eddie of Bottom fame own the cheapest hotel in Britain next to a nuclear power plant. They are desperately in need of cash and when a film star in hiding comes to stay their luck just might be in.

To watch this movie and not become utterly bored or disgusted you first need to like the humour. Some would say that only hardcore fans really enjoy watching it. But overall it's a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's thwait!, 18 July 2005
By Mr. Nicholas Pearson "Mr.N.M Pearson" (warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is the bottom film that came out of comedy writing and performing duo; Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. This film starts where the bottom characters Eddie Hitler and Richard Richard, although Richard's surname is now Tw*t pronounced Thwait apparently,left off. running Britains cheapest hotel is no easy task especially when it is next door to a nuclear power station, you have no bookings and can't go five minutes without a serious, cartoon style punch up with your buisness partner. the film also has cameos by Simon Pegg and Bill Nighy, this is a must for any bottom fan, there is violence in this that will not just make you wince but actually make your eyes water, especially the men and did I tell you it is also very funny.
IMPORTANT- if your DVD player is set to '4x3 pan and scan mode' the menu highlight is not shown making it impossible to select anything, change your players setup to '4x3 letterbox mode' this will not affect the picture quality or the size very much but is essential to watch the film, subtitles or special features. this dvd's extras are: 3 trailers, game for PC, 'ar*e ups', subtiles and a making of documentry.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's thwaite!!!!!!, 3 Aug 2005
well I thought that having a Italian film star coming to a dreary hotel where you have thong removals with a oxyacetelyne torch and meat hooks up your nose would be very unlikely but it happened to Richie and Eddie.
its the hotel that everyone knows that's next to a nuclear power plant, the hotel that everyone eats contaminated fish, the hotel where Gino Guiseppe is violently sick.
It sounds disgusting and vile but if you watch it, it's the funniest thing you can think of.
