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.

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.

C-

Four of the hottest indie directors--Anders, Rockwell, Tarantino, and Rodrigues--miss a unique opportunity to display their idiosyncratic talents resulting in a tedious anthology in which 2 segments are inept, one barely decent, and one OK (guess whose)

2/4

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 weakest entries are absolutely dreadful.

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.

A promising setup wasted on four wildly uneven stories. A waste of time.

Four rooms is a super weird, crazy, and an overall decent film, and sure the first 2 parts of the movie aren't the greatest and are somewhat boring, the rest of the film is funny, dark and very entertaining. Tim roth as Ted gives off a very comedic, looney tunes style of acting to this role, and its just what the film needs. Another great part of the film is the killer soundtrack by combustible edison. In the end, Four rooms is definitely an underrated film.

I know not why this didn't do well. I remember watching it on video in 1996. I have watched it several times since and even purchased it on DVD. It's great comedy and Tim Roth is as always excellent. Very much like Looney Tunes over the top slap stick comedy.

Movie is excellent. Like when QT and Rodriguez did The Grindhouse, the critics don’t get it. Flies over their heads.

One of the most pretentious and awful movies ever made. Attempts to humourous but it is cringe bad. The QT cult pumping up ratings.
