action

Richard Twat and Eddie Elizabeth Ndingobamba run the cheapest hotel in Britain, which is located on a cliff next to a nuclear power station . The staff left her because of outstanding wages, the last to go at the beginning of the film is the cook. Because of the poor service, the guests left the hotel, with the exception of the alcoholic, slightly demented Ms. Foxfur. The financial end of the hotel threatens. But then first the Nice family of four arrives, who cannot afford a more expensive hotel, and later the actress Gina Carbonara, who is on the run from her violent fiancé Gino Bolognese. But he can track down Gina in the hotel. In the meantime, Richard and Eddie find fish that have been lost in a convoy of trucks coming from Kraftwerk and serve them to their guests, who feel sick that night because the fish were radioactively contaminated . Gino starts to beat Gina, but vomit is thrown from the other guests simultaneously through a window of the house down the cliff into the sea. Richard, Eddie and Gina want to flee together and, to their surprise, are given money, passports and plane tickets to the Caribbean by government agents who want to cover up an accident at the power plant at the hotel's doorstep.

Trivia

Richard's surname is pronounced like "Thwaite" according to him. As a running gag , all the guests pronounce it like "Twat"; “Twat” is a vulgar word for vagina in English. See also: Seven Dirty Words .

Reviews

For the British Guardian , reviewer Peter Bradshaw ruled that Guest House Paradiso was "horribly uncomfortable, caustic, complacent, cynical, ugly (and) unattractive" and that even before the Sara Sugarman comedy Mad Cows , released in the same year, it was the "worst film of the millennium ".

“As loud as it is simple-minded comedy that is based on violent gags and fecal humor. The main characters get stuck in their roles as limited clowns. "

- Lexicon of international film

“Unfortunately, this over-the-top comedy by British TV comedian duo Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson has none of the absurd humor of the Monty Pythons. The film features gags below the belt and silly, idiotic slapstick. The writers set out to make the worst film in the world. They even succeeded to some extent. Unfortunately, however, it is not a trash product that makes you look askew, but simply bores you animal. "
