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.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

There are some great scenes in this quirky short film made by four directors each shooting one quarter of the film. Notable for Bruce Willis’ uncredited appearance. Watched on DVD.

I love this movie!! I am always intrigued and curious about hotels and what is going on in each of the rooms. This movie is witty and strange and that’s why I love it!

Funniest story in the film is “The Misbehaviors”. Tim Roth was incredibly unfunny though, in fact I would describe it as cringe inducing. Most the time the other actors (especially the kids in that specific story) carried the whole plot. The witch one wasn’t all that funny, Quentin’s was just whatever. That second one with Siegfried was hilarious at times. I really don’t know why, but Robert Rodriguez’s segment blew me away. It shows me how great this film could have been. Hell, the idea and structure is there but the execution isn’t. I’d love to see a remake of this film, but instead of the main character being a stooge he would just be a regular guy. Still a pretty decent little flick. 3/5 stars.

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.
