Unless you count New York Stories, this is probably the only movie of it's type. 4 directors, 4 stories, 4 rooms, 1 hotel and 1 bellhop boy staggering from room to room and landing himself in all sorts of situations such as having the privalige of chopping off a man's finger, getting off with a witch, and having to babysit two young trouble makers plus much more!

Everything takes place either in the hotel rooms, corridor, elivator or hotel office. It's brilliantly done, with the 3rd and 4th rooms being the funniest and best put together. However the first two rooms are enjoyable also.

It had never really been tried before, however the four directors including Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodrequez, managed to pull it off! It's just a shame that this movie often goes completly unrecognised. It's totally under-rated. Buy it now. Really, no ones movie collection is complete without this.

The movie starts with a bellhop starting his shift. He is the night bellhop in what seems to be a high class hotel. He is the only one working that night and has to contend with four different roooms (not all at the same time) which is where the name comes from. Each room has its own segment and is written by a different writer. The first two I don't remember who did them, but the last two are done by Robert Rodriguez(#3) and Quentin Tarintino(#4).
Now that all of the rooms are fun to watch. The first room is horrible and contains one of the worst actresses in the world, Maddona. Stay away from this room and don't bother watching it. Basically it features a group of witches attempting to resurrect their leader. They all bring different items but one of them doesn't. She needed to bring sperm but didn't, so guess who is going to give them some? That's right the bellhop. She doesn't want to take advantage of him but is forced to. There is some nudity in this scene(and it is a beautiful women who is nude) but that would be the only reason to watch this scene, and I say just fast forward until you get to it.
The second room contains a couple who are in the middle of a major conflict. The bellhop walks into the room to find the husband with a gun and the wife tied up. The husband is accusing the bellhop of committing adultery with his wife. He denies it and they go back and force. The bellhop gains his trust then loses it, and back and force like that. It was quite funny but not my favorite.
The third room contains Antonio Banderas(I don't think I spelled his name right) and an actress playing his wife. They want to go out but they have two childen, a young son and older daughter. These two children are trouble and you can tell from the moment they appear on the screen. Now in order to get away from their children they pay the bellhop to check on them every hour. The parents leave, mischief occurs, children don't listen, and more mischief happens. Loved this scene, one of Robert Rodriguez's greatest works. The only thing of his I liked more was From Dusk til' Dawn.
Then there is an intermission where the bellhop complains to the pothead manager of the hotel, who is played hilariously by Kathy Griffin. Good break up from the rooms that perfectly sets up the final and greatest room of the movie.
The final room was written and stars Quetin Tarintino. Quentin plays a famous actor who rented the penthouse with a bunch of his friends. They are drunk and bored and asked the bellhop for what seems to be a bunch of random items. When he delivers these he is instantly greeted by a drunk and merry Quentin. He invites him to drink a little with him and another of his friends, while Bruce Willis argues with his wife on the phone in the bedroom. Eventually he asks to the bellhop to help out in an outrageous bet with crazy circumstances(don't want to give it away) and the bellhop eventually after much begging to do it.
That is the basic plot. It is a good comedy and for a little more than 10 bucks it is a great addition to anyone's DVD collection. Get it, skip the first room, and enjoy.

There is absolutely nothing like a bellboy screaming at the top of the lungs, "There's a Whoooooore in my matress", and then you throw in Bruce Willis, Madonna, and a few other top notch celebrities to make the film look credible and whalaa, you come out wih one amazingly strange movie in which all who have ADD can enjoy in its full because it is four movies in one

After the first 15 minutes of this movie, I considered turning it off so I wouldn't regret wasting an hour and a half of my life. But before I had a chance to turn it off, two fairly attractive women take their shirts off. That convinced me to leave it on a little longer to give it a chance. And I was rewarded. The humor in this movie is definitely dark and odd, but stories number 3 and 4 in this movie are great. Quentin Tarantino breaks out with more impressive dialogue and the movie ends with a bang. I could never really figure out Tim Roth's performance, however...it reminded me a little too much of Mr. Bean. But I guess that's how all British people act, right? Ha. Just kidding. Anyway, this movie is worth a shot for Tarantino fans and people who like strange movies, but not for people expecting a laugh-out-loud hilarious movie or one that follows formulas.

love it or hate it four rooms is a fun movie. not every movie is gonna be a citizen kane. lets not forget this movie is a comedy, and on that level it suceeds. tim roth gives a great performance as ted the bell hop, a quirky man who gets frustrated after a series of mishaps that happen on his first night. the first segment finds ted at the begging of a coven of lesbian witches. mildly amusing, but i wouldn't consider it hilarious. the second segment, by far the worst of the four, finds ted at the mercy of a gun yielding husband whose wife is tied to a chair. not funny at all. but moves the story along. the third and best segment is by bobby rodriguez. ted is paid by a wonderful antonio banderas to watch his kids while he and his wife go to a party. what ensues is the most hilarious part of the movie. at one point during the segment when ted leaps in an elevator and leaps up and makes the most awkward face. at this time i was crying. i usually dont like bobbys movies due to his extremely stupid ideas, i.e. guitar cases/bazookas, or crotch rockets, but this is truly a masterpiece from rodriguez. and finally comes tarantinos part in the whole saga of ted. ted almost quits until he is convinced by his boss to stay and fulfill the needs of the the character played by tarantino. im pretty sure tarantino rips off a hitchcock short. nothing new since tarantino has pretty much stolen everything hes ever made, but hes still my favorite director ever. his dialog is his strongest quality. i liked this movie. after the first vieing you might say, "what the _____." but it is funny. g-unit.
