Amazon.co.uk Review

Four Rooms is an unbearable quartet of stories written and directed by hot filmmakers Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi), Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging), and Alexandre Rockwell (In the Soup), which only proves that even the smart guys can really blow it sometimes. The anthology is linked by the hotel in which all the events are taking place, and by Tim Roth as a bellboy flitting from scene to scene. Nobody overcomes the insufferable air of self-congratulation that permeates this exercise in forced hipness. Others involved include Bruce Willis, Madonna, Lili Taylor, Ione Skye, Jennifer Beals, and Antonio Banderas.--Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Reservoir Dogs meets Desperado in a hotel, 9 Mar 2000
This review is from: Four Rooms [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Quentin Tarantino followed up the huge success of Pulp Fiction with this ensemble piece, that showcases the directing talents of fellow indie favourites, Robert Rodriguez, Alexandre Rockwell, Allison Anders, not to mention a star turn by Qunetin himself. The premise is simple, one hotel, one bellboy (Tim Roth doing his best Michael Caine impressions) and one hell of a New Year's Eve. Each director takes a section of the film and Roth manically dashs from one 'screw-ball' scenario to another. From Madonna and her coven of witches, to Antonio Banderas' trouble making kids, through to the grand finale where Quentin and Bruce Willis are stretched to their acting threshholds as hotshot young director and movie superstar respectively. As a film it is limited, but as four examples of indie film making, tied to together by lunatic performance from Tim Roth it makes for enjoyable viewing. Steve Buscemi was originally cast as the bellboy, but due to his turn as a bellboy in Barton Fink he turned down the chance and allowed Roth to take centre stage. Horribly under rated this is one for the fans and those that enjoy bizarre movies with no apparent purpose or plot.

3.0 out of 5 stars MESSY IN PLACES BUT ULTIMATELY ENJOYABLE, 7 Sep 2006
By sean paul mccann "mccanns23" (ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Four Rooms is a 1995 film starring Tim Roth as a bellhop who is working new years eve in a hotel,but this isnt going to be an easy night for teddy (roth).The film is written and directed by four directors hence the film is broken into four stories all which happen on the same night and all involving teddy.Each story is quirky,manic,over the top and camp in parts which teddy really invokes as his character as a really kenneth williams feel at times.
The first two stories pass by with some enjoyment but aint brilliant,the opening story involving witches who want to bring an ex witch back to life is ok,madonna excels in the role even if she is overacting but i would say that was a deliberate ploy by writer and director Alison Anders.
The second story which is written and directed by Alexandre Rockwell involves a case of mistaken identity which is ok again and there are laughs but its one dimensional in parts and runs out of steam in the end.
The film is saved by the two most respected directors of all in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.Each of their stories involves the best scripts and the most laughs and the madness of the overall story is increased here.Rodriguezs story involves antonia banderas who hams it up as an eccentric father who asks roth to look after his two kids so that he and his wife can head out and then the laughs really kick in.
Tarantinos story is typical tarantino with a razor sharp script and great laughs courtesy of quentin who stars in his segment along with bruce willis,and it must be said that willis is excellent as a man that gets drunk and falls out with his wife because he wont drive home.
All in all this is a movie of four parts and not strictly a bonafide film and like me im sure you will love some of it and think the other bits are weaker but thats the gamble that the production company took,but its certainly worth investigating.

4.0 out of 5 stars and now for something totally different..., 3 Sep 2004
By ceejay (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This movie is great fun!!! The plot of the first part is so crappy that's ridiculously funny, the second is a nice appetizer of the things to come for Tim Roth, the bell hop. Then serious business sets in as Robert Rodriguez brings Antonio Banderas in a superb intimidating character with a pair of children that unleash a hellish plot (a climax that will make you weep with laughter) and Tarantino's part builds up a tension for a great dessert. The Amazon reviewer forgot to put on the right AV channel...or has a narrow scope of interest.
