Review of Four Rooms

Four Rooms (1995)
5/10
2 good stories out of 4
9 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
There is a mild spoiler in the second paragraph.

I realize that I'm not the first person to point this out, but half of this movie really sucked, while the other half was great. There was also another part of this movie, in which Ted (the Bellhop) calls some woman on the telephone and summarizes the movie up until that point in a mildly comedic manner. I choose to ignore that part since it serves no purpose.

The first story in the first room in this movie was terrible (except there was some joke about lesbian incest involving Madonna, and the bellhop's subtle reaction is hilarious), and I can't even remember the details of the second because it was so bad. After these it gets awesome.

During the third room part, I was laughing almost incessantly. It was brilliant. The kids were just hilarious, throughout. In the last skit, the typical Tarantino style was evident and it was very enjoyable, almost at the level of Pulp Fiction.

So, I would recommend renting this movie, and skipping past the first half. There is a bit of a crossover between the second and fourth rooms, but it's not really important.
