Working New Year's Eve at a hotel in Hollywood, Calif., the new bellhop, Ted (Tim Roth), has no idea what's in store for him. Left alone to tend to the guests, Ted soon finds himself in completely over his head. Between a domestic dispute and a demented entourage, spell-casting witches and destructive children, Ted has little hope of making it through the night in one piece. As he tries to maintain order and save his own life, the unlucky bellhop encounters one deranged guest after another.

Critics Consensus

Four Rooms comes stocked with a ton of talent on both sides of the camera, yet only manages to add up to a particularly uneven -- and dismayingly uninspired -- anthology effort.

Sheila Johnston

Independent (UK)

No one at all seems to have directed Tim Roth who, as the bellhop linking the segments, tries to do a Jerry Lewis and ends up with a twitching, mugging, achingly unfunny performance that he will come to regard as an embarrassment.

The results are mainly awful, and even Roth got saddled with a mannered part that he can't comfortably play.

It's questionable which got the worst of the bargain. In any case, this is one of the more interesting disasters of the waning film year.

The Spool

On the one hand, TIm Roth gives the bellhop an almost Charlie Chaplin silent film feel. The impish looks, the exaggerated shock takes, the way he bounces in place or struts behind his room service cart. On the other hand, he has lines.

I watched it on PluTo TV for free and found it entertainment. Very interesting. The last room with the children is the best. Good stuff.

Overall, it's terrific to see actor Tim Roth bring so much energy and wackiness to this film. It's near impossible not to chuckle at various moments. While the film is divided into four chapters, I found the first two extremely painful and challenging to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if many viewers just gave up on the first watch, mainly because there are moments to begin with that are highly uninteresting, slow, and lacking any form of fun or value. Thankfully, with Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino behind the camera for parts three and four, viewers are given a far greater experience. Ultimately, it's a beautiful concept that struggles to get going. As the credits appeared, I was left wishing the entire film was far greater than what it was.

Non-Stop entertainment, clever, hilarious, with a sick twist. Definitely a must see movie!

Possibly one of the worst movies ever made. So many talented people wasted. It's almost as if they thought they didn't need to hire writers or rehearse. On the up side, if all these "talented" people made this, anyone can succeed in hollywood.
