Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall, co-creators and stars of BOTTOM, present this bawdy comedy starring themselves as Eddie and Richie Twat (pronounced Thwaite), the owners of the Guesthouse Paradiso, a foul, malodorous Hotel in a permanent state of disrepair and situated next to a nuclear power plant. Something of a cross between BOTTOM and FAWLTY TOWERS, the film's plot finds the hotel's diminished staff put into a tizzy by the arrival of Gina Carbonara, a beautiful Italian movie star. However, the makeshift cook somehow acquires some seafood that has been irradiated by the nearby plant, thus producing some serious gastrointestinal stress on the guests.

Probably the best thing that can be said here is that Bottom fans won't be disappointed: essentially, this is a slightly expanded, big-screen version of the TV series, with slightly better sets and plenty of cartoon violence. For the uninitiated, however, this has to be one of the worst TV spin-offs ever. Stars Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson have no one to blame but themselves for this puerile farce: Edmondson directs, from a script he co-wrote with Mayall. The story, for what it's worth, finds sociopaths Richie and Eddie running a revolting hotel in the shadow of a nuclear power plant. Vincent Cassel, Bill Nighy and Fenella Fielding are among the guests.
Gross and excessively aggressive comedy, mainly concerned with vomit and violent assaults on the more delicate parts of the human anatomy; banging your head hard against a brick wall would be considerably more entertaining, and would also capture the spir
I never get bored of watching Eddie & Richie, and these lads never fail to have me in stitches. I recomend this film to anyone that likes comedy it is hilarious, if you're considering running a hotel...I sugest you watch this first!
Rik and Ade run a hotel and you can imagine what they get up to. It is full of laughs and a good storyline if there is one! Very funny and would like to see more of them, do another movie!
