Summary: All in all, pretty lousy
Review: Only the most die-hard Tim Roth fans will want to sit through this whole movie. Too bad the last two segments (I think they're the last two, anyway) are the only ones even remotely worth watching; that means you have to sit through the first two to get to them. Thank God for fast-forward!
The one with Madonna in it is about witches, and the only thing you can say about it is that it makes witches look like the most boring possible subject matter in the universe. Plus it stars Madonna. 'Nuff said.
Then there's one about a wife and her husband, with one of them tied to a chair or something. This one was so bad, I can't even remember anything else about it. And I only watched it three days ago! What does that tell you?
Thankfully, just when you're begging for someone to shut it off, along comes the third segment, a hilarious little film about two naughty children and the bellhop (Roth, who appears in each segment) who is bribed to keep an eye on them. When the source of the mysterious odor in the room is discovered, Roth's reaction almost justifies the whole movie's existence. I was still laughing hours later.
The last segment, by spoiled Hollywood wonderchild Quentin Tarantino, is okay. It has his trademark crackling dialogue (of course), and Q.T. has some fun with his own image. But too bad the entire segment itself is just one long, sick, unfunny joke.
Making this movie was not a very good idea, and the results were predictably foul. Even the always-enjoyable Roth seems out of place and you kind of feel sorry for him. But at least the "Misbehavers" segment, all by itself, redeems the experience. Almost.

Summary: Skip the first room
Review: 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.

Summary: Four Rooms
Review: 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

Summary: Gets better as the movie progresses
Review: 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.

Summary: quit dissing my homey
Review: 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.

Summary: What the hell went wrong?
Review: Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1 and 2) and Robert Rodriquez (Desperado, Once Upon A Time In Mexico) are a great team...think Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn....but man does this movie suck. I was expecting what others were expecting from the 2 of them...a great frickin movoie. Tim Roth (Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) plays the bellhop of the movie and he goes around and he is linked in with everysingle story in the movie. One being Antonio Banderas (The Body, Play It To The Bone) and his crazy ass wasted performance. A coven of wiccas, Madonna (Swept Away, Evita), Alicia Witt (Urban Legend, Vanilla Sky), Lili Taylor (Ransom, Haunting), Marisa Tomei (The Watcher, What Women Want), Ione Skye (Rivers Edge, Dream Of An Insomniac)....A woman and her jealous boyfriend and Quentin Tarantino and his appearance. Nothing really is great about anything in this movie. It's really embarrassing to watch all this talent go down the dumps for 98 minutes..truly embarrassing and why Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction, Die Hard) has a cameo in this movie I sure as hell dont know. Muck from the bottom of the truck. Also starring Valeria Golino (Escape From LA), Salma Hayek (Frida, Traffic), Jennifer Beals (Vampires Kiss, Flashdance) and Kathy Griffin (Pulp Fiction, NewsRadio).

Summary: Offbeat comedy with 4 directors - mixed results
Review: This film has Tim Roth as a novice Bellboy getting caught up in the absurd goings on at 4 different hotel rooms, with each sequence having a different director. Quentin Tarantino acts in and directs the last sequence, which is really the least amusing. Overall the acting is good, with many small roles by actors/actresses such as Madonna, Jennifer Beals, Lili Taylor, Ione Skye, Bruce Willis, Marisa Tomei, Kathy Griffin, and Antonio Banderas. The best part is directed by Robert Rodriguez, and has Banderas as the father of two kids who are involved in comic adventures (this also foreshadows Rodriguez's development of the Spy Kids films). There are no extras on the DVD and the first sequence with the wiccans is a bit creepy in retrospect since they are involved in Diana goddess worship in a film made before Princess Di was killed. Of course, the last sequence is pretty dark for a comedy, so this film is really a mixed bag.
