This movie is weird.
This movie is gross.
This movie is never subtle.
This movie is grotesque.
But that's the brilliance of this movie. Eddie (Adrian Edmundson) and Richie (Rik Mayall) are the hosts of the worst hotel in the world and you are invited!
When all personel has left the hotel, these two idiots with a weird sense of social interaction have to run the lovely Guest House Paradiso by themselves. You can enjoy the nice view of the nuclear power plant or have some fine dining in the restaurant, which will serve some suspicious looking fish tonight. You are free to enjoy the cliff side swingset or the service of the hotel's dentist/gynaecologist!
While this of course sounds lovely, you can be sure that Eddie and Richie are making a mess of everything that happens within the hotel, which results in excessive (but nontheless hilarious) violence. Edmundson and Mayall have gained a lot of experience playing similar characters in the 'Bottom' and 'The Young Ones' series on television, which provide the same kind of humor. While these shows only last for an half hour, Eddie and Richie get in som many weird and shameful situations that the movie stays interesting and funny for the enire one and a half hour. If you dig cartoon-like violence and bad puns, or like Bottom and The Young Ones, this is the movie for you!
8/10
