Variety Staff Variety 03/26/2009
A lightweight ensemble comedy in which ingenious plotting is let down by weak dialog and stop-go direction that largely squanders the talent involved. Go to Full Review Brian Case Time Out 02/09/2006
[A] leaden farce. Go to Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
There's more method than inspired madness to "Blame It on the Bellboy," but this scenic, fast-paced farce by a first-time British director is still effervescent fun. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 11/30/2023

…a sickly confection that’s utterly poisonous to watch… Go to Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 06/07/2018
As it bounces unmerrily along, Blame It on the Bellboy is half-intriguing, but rarely humorous. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/27/2005

08/24/2022 In this film a bellboy's butchering of the English language leads three separate guests at an Italian hotel with similar names into various kinds of trouble. Dudley Moore, Bryan Brown, Richard Griffiths, Patsy Kensit and Bronson Pinchot star. This was pretty entertaining due to the very good cast. Makes me realize I could watch Patsy Kensit in anything. See more steve d 07/10/2020 Not remotely entertaining. See more 07/15/2018 first saw this as a kid when it was the midday movie. Fell in love with venice and the characters immediately. Love watching the triumph of dudley moore and brian brown's characters and watching the others get their comeuppance. 20 years later still my go-to rainy day or sick day movie. See more 10/05/2015 Amazed at the lack of great reviews I found it a brilliant funny film! See more 12/02/2012 When I was 12, I really liked this movie. If I watched it again, I might drop one star. See more 01/29/2012 These poor reviews are nonsense. It's a hilarious movie. One of the best. See more Read all reviews
