Four Rooms (Movie Review)

I just watched Four Rooms for the first time in it's full entirety. I had previously seen segmented parts of it once before.

Four Rooms is a four part movie with four different directors with situations in four different rooms in one hotel. The four parts directed by the different directors are as follows in the following sequential order: - ''The Missing Ingredient', by Allison Anders, ''The Wrong Man'' by Alexandre Rockwell, ''The Misbehavious'' by Robert Rodriguez and finally ''The Man from Hollywood'', Quentin Tarentino.

The movie revolves around a paranoid, uptight and always surprising bell hop called ''Ted'', played by Tim Roth, and played very well. He has to attend to reception and room service this one night all on his own, and it is also happens to be NYE. Each room he has to call to has an outrageous situations looming, with clever intermixes and references to the guests and situations throughout the unfolding. The first room scene is my least favorite as it has Madonna and the story was unrealistic and the deliverance boring, then it gets better and better with Quentin's part being my marginally favorite, followed closely by Rodriguez's directorial part, which was charming and funny.

There are many name actors such as Marissa Tomei, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas and Bruce Willis. It's a wacky and zany movie that's filled with silliness and fun. It's a preview to Quentin's ever flowing witty scripting, classic timing and screen shots... It's a borderline 'too cute' a movie, rather than being 'brilliant'... Yet a great platform to many great moves for the 2 director's I now adore, Robert and Quentin...

7/10
