Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is maybe the best slapstick-movie I ever seen. The first ten minutes I'm laughing without breathing. The movie seems to be senseless, but try to watch out the many references to other movies. The poor people who visit "Guesthouse Paradiso" are very unfortunate, but sometimes I can feel with the director of the Hotel, too. The good old dark British humor as it's best. It don't must hide behind "Death at a funeral" or other movies like this. So if you like to watch people fighting till the end, physical and psychical, or laugh about senseless and maybe bad tasted sketches, than watch it. And be prepared for a end who blows you away!!!

This is the FIRST movie that has made me feel completely SICK to the bottom of my mind, soul and body.I just saw it on DVD at home, & saw it to the end because it was recommended and I have liked all Rick Mayall's other work including the Young Ones and Bottom (though more the last Season of that.) It's quite clear Edmonson & Mayall wanted to take certain themes (like vomit, and extreme balls & head crunching) to the limit. But that is about IT. There were some vague sexual references and some crawling through crawl spaces, but the only really funny thing I found was right at the start with Eddy sleep motorcycling. From there it was all downhill. And ALL THE SAME, over and frickin over.That I have to warn about "may contain spoilers" after so few words says something about the movie.That's about IT
.Oh, plus, I am expected to find the prospect of a dozen or so perfectly innocent men women and children dying in the unutterable agony of extreme radiation poisoning, while the poisoners jet off to the Caribbean with "a million pounds and gorgeous crumpet"
hilarious...? It wasn't the vomit, it was THAT I found just too SICK after so much wasted time and repetitively brainless slapstick.I haven't had dinner, I am hungry, but I am literally too ill to eat after this. Not even the later Hellraiser movies did this to me, either from horror or lack of detectable story line! I WANT MY 89 MINUTES BACK PLUS THE DVD RENTAL! Those amateur reviewers pushing this film so hard I have to suspect are having a little sadistic fun themselves... "'Ere eat this luvly shellfish with the extra hot sauce added, you'll feel LUVLY!!!" Eeerrgaghhhhhhhhhh..............Rick Mayall is one of the greatest comedians of our time - whether in slapstick (Bottom) or high satire (The New Statesman, Believe Nothing). I think that's what made this one stink bomb so hard to take in the end.

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmunson are two of my favorite actors, and two of Britains finest comic geniuses of their generation. They're masters of depraved physical comedy, and one of the finest comic duos in history. That having been said, their comedy takes getting used to and if you're not a fan, this is not the place to get into their goodness. They're famous in Britain for the Young Ones, their surreal 80s comedy, and almost equally as well known for the greatness of Bottom, their sitcom about two pathetic losers at the bottom rung of life's ladder. GHP takes these two characters and takes them on a bizarre, twisted adventure in hotel management which includes an extended, utterly indescribably brilliant fight scene that can best be summed up as live-action Warner Bros violence.I'm surprised at the low rating, but if you could filter it you'd probably find that Bottom fans came away loving it, because that's the intended audience. It's story is sub par, the plot goes nowhere fast, but that's not what you're here for is it? You're here for the best vomit scene ever filmed, a kitchen fight that has to be seen to be believed, and drunken sleeping scooter-riding. There's no describing or properly summing up this level of insanity!

I had seen Rik Mayall in Blackadder and the New Statesman, so I thought I'd give this film a try.At around 4 pm I bought it, at around 8pm I started to watch, at around 8.15pm I fast forwarded the remaining film to see if there was anything left watchable for a human being with a brain... but there wasn't. At around 8.45pm I threw the DVD into the dustbin. And that's where this "film" belongs.What ever happened to British humour? The humour so fine and witty, intelligent and artful that you find in Yes, Minister, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley, Fawlty Towers or The Fast Show? The black humour Britain is so famous for? I don't want to insult anybody, but I presume even stupid children wouldn't find this funny. They deserve more intelligent fun. And Rik Mayall, you can do better, so please, do!
