Directed by Adrian Edmondson
Radioactive fish, Italian bombshells, and vomit. These are the key ingredients of this over-the-top gross-out fest about the worst guesthouse in Britain. Former Young Ones star Rik Mayall is Richie Twat (pronounced "Thwaite" as he labors to explain to one and all) who runs the titular hotel with his dull-witted cohort Eddie (Adrian Edmondson). Balancing precariously on a cliff overlooking a nuclear power plant, the hotel is a nightmare from the standpoint of customer service. Richie gleefully abuses the guests, rummages through their luggage, and serves them vile, rotten food. When a nice but impoverished family and an Italian starlet (Gina "Nipples from Naples" Carbonara, played by Helene Mahieau) makes the mistake of staying at their abode, events grow more bizarre and scatological with each passing frame until the film's delirious finale, which has to be the one of the longest and most involved mass puking scenes ever committed to celluloid. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

"Robram does have a point. The film isn't as good as THE YOUNG ONES or BOTTOM, of which the film is based. It is worth the watch, I believe, and shouldn't be avoided! " [More]

"This is a brilliant film! It combines humour with funny violence and painful violence, like hooks up the nose and nutcrackers (if you get my drift). So don't say it's not funny, cause it is! " [More]

"This is one of those films that you end up watching for no reason other than it's on - do yourself a favour and don't bother.Some of you may have been exposed to the humour of Mayall and Edmondson before, via The Young Ones or Bottom, both of which were very funny.For some reason they decided to put out this monstrosity - a cross between Fawlty Towers and Bottom and it's terrible. The humour is base, at best, the script is lame, the plot is negligible. All in all, it " [More]
