Four Rooms

It's Ted the Bellhop's first night on the job...and the hotel's very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments. It seems that this evening's room service is serving up one unbelievable happening after another.
What critics thought
An anthology film that squanders a remarkable roster of talent, Four Rooms was broadly dismissed by critics as a gaping disappointment — the sum of its parts far worse than any individual piece. The Rodriguez segment drew the most praise, while Tarantino's self-indulgent closing act became a focal point of frustration. Audiences have been somewhat kinder over the years, but the critical drubbing at release was severe and nearly unanimous.
“one of 1995's major disappointments”
James Berardinelli·ReelViews
“asserts itself as a goof so laboriously and aggressively that you almost feel pinned back in your seat”
Hal Hinson·The Washington Post
“Tarantino had the right idea in choosing to satirize himself but unfortunately does not seem to understand why he is funny. A movie about him making this film could have been hilarious.”
