All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

When I was 11 going on 12, I never heard of this film until I saw a TV advert for it's video release. I actually thought it was a straight to video film. My sister rented me this film back on St Paddy's day 2001. I'll make a metaphor later on in this review. The question is how do you make a movie based on Bottom? Doing a live show is one thing, but a movie? Since Rik and Ade are big Fawlty Towers fans and always reference it in their work, they decided to have Richie and Eddie run a hotel with their own Bottom style to it.There were some scenes I liked such as the kitchen fight, the scene where Richie is wearing the bikini and is trying to hide from everyone and my fave scene "I want to eat it naked."But yeah, the film is ruined by the overlong vomit scene which I still have nightmares about. Why did Rik and Ade think that people would want to go to the cinema to see a finale that involves vomiting. I put that scene on my "The most disgusting scenes in movies" rightfully so. Also, why did the guests vomit on Gino? They never met this guy. Why are they vomiting on him? And then they killed him. That's great. A group of innocent people just killed someone. Also, I feel sorry for the guests, because now that they've eaten radioactive waste, they would probably have to get new organs because their old ones were probably destroyed by the radioactive waste. I'm no expert on radioactive waste, but I'm guessing that's what probably happen to you if you eat it.And what happen to Richie and Eddie who have made their stay Hell? They get tickets for the Caribbean. Yeah, I'm suppose to root for 2 men who nearly killed innocent people and don't care about them.Bottom works as a TV show, but not as a movie. This movie pretty much ruined Rik and Ade's career just like the way Les Patterson Saves The World ruined Barry Humphries' career.

Mayall and Edmondson take their Bottom incarnations, even thought they claim in interviews they haven't, and put them in charge of the worst Hotel in the UK.There is some sort of incoherent plot going on though. The hotel is next to a Nuclear Power Plant, and obviously Eddie and Richie are awful to their customers, so hilarity ensues.A famous film start comes to stay at the Hotel, and a family stay there too, as they cannot afford anywhere else. But the plot thickens when the stars husband comes chasing after her, and the fish is off..Remember the movies, The Boys in Blue, Holiday On The Buses, and Alien Autopsy? You're on the same path with this abomination.It must have sounded really good at the time, and admittedly, its a little nostalgic to see the two characters on the big screen, but then they start to act, and speak, and you realise they are best left to a thirty minute slot on BBC 2.They fight, swear, and are nasty to their guest, and then at the end, every one vomits....that's the film.Its pretty bad stuff, but you could get some fun out of it now, seeing people like Bill Nighy and Simon Pegg in this.I bet they love this on their C.V.

As an adult, this was the first film I ever walked out of It wasn't funny, it was just stupid and dark and really I can think of no redeemable factors. Even if towards the end it somehow improved it could in no way make up for the first 30 minutes or so. There is nothing worse than a film by people who think they are funny, talented or otherwise possessed of comedic brilliance when they clearly have lost it - if they ever had it before If you find this on DVD - by all means get it as it would make a fantastic gift for someone you hate. Acting - abysmal Writing - I think they were just winging it and had no script Filming/production - Blair Witch Project was of better quality.

I Think That IMDb Has To Be Split Up Because Not Every Movie Can Be Judged On The Same Level(Compare This To Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy...You Can't Can You?), This Film Was Always Going To Be Stupid(Explain How Richard Blew Up In An Oven And Still Survived), Since Adrian Edmondson And Rick Mayall Asked Each other "What If Bottom Became A Movie?" This Is Another One Of Those "Plot Doesn't Matter" Movies Where You Only Watch It For The Laughs, The Funniest Part Is The Entire Sequence When Richard Was In Womens Underwear Running Around The Hotel, Name Any Part Out Of Those 10 Minutes; The Italian Love Goddess Movie Star Seeing Him In That State(Of Course He Hides), How He Explains To Eddie What The Hell He's Doing Yet Trying To Make Him Believe He Is Hereto Sexual(He Doesn't Succeed, If He Did I WOULD Compare It To Shakespeare.), Richard Blowing Up In An Oven, Eddie Blowing Up Richards Pantes, Its All Hysterical.Overall I Suggest A Viewing If You Want To See A Really Dumb Comedy.(Or If You Want To See Bill Nighy And Simon Pegg In The Same Movie But Not On Screen Together.)
