No one at all seems to have directed Tim Roth who, as the bellhop linking the segments, tries to do a Jerry Lewis and ends up with a twitching, mugging, achingly unfunny performance that he will come to regard as an embarrassment.

The results are mainly awful, and even Roth got saddled with a mannered part that he can't comfortably play.

Four of the hottest indie directors--Anders, Rockwell, Tarantino, and Rodrigues--miss a unique opportunity to display their idiosyncratic talents resulting in a tedious anthology in which 2 segments are inept, one barely decent, and one OK (guess whose)

They should have called this One Room and released it as a Rodriguez short.

The less said about this career-denting fiasco, the better.

Sounds better than it is.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 13, 2001

Four Rooms asserts itself as a goof so laboriously and aggressively that you almost feel pinned back in your seat.

| Jan 1, 2000

Results in a wildly uneven, temperamental, and ultimately disappointing mish-mash of cameos, in-jokes, and stories that fail to engage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The four segments are widely different in quality. On the useful scale of the Michelin guides, one is worth a trip, another is worth a detour, and the other two are a colossal waste of bandwidth.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Four Rooms has been cut substantially since a disastrous September reception at the Toronto Film Festival, though it's hard to imagine it running any longer.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The result is a batch of shrill, self-indulgent sketches that turn so wretched in spots you start to wonder if the filmmakers wanted them to be bad.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The segments are uniformly weak.

| Jan 1, 2000

Anthology films never work; Tarantino is not infallible; casting Madonna as a lesbian witch and Bruce Willis in a silly party hat doesn't necessarily make for great entertainment.
