- Synopsis:
- Richie (Rik Mayall) and Eddie (Adrian Edmondson) are running the nastiest, smellist, most squalid hotel in the world and things aren't going well. The Chef's guzzled all the food, cash is running low and most of the guests have fled without paying! But things are on the up with the arrival of the Nice family, some exotic underwear and the sexy Italian movie star Gina Carbonara (Hélène Mahieu). Richie is soon indulging his passion for panty pilfering whilst desperately trying to impress the fragrant Ms. Carbonara. But with Gina's jilted fiancee in hot pursuit and something decidedly iffy about the fish dinner, Richie and Eddie are going to need a miracle to escape in one piece.

The slappiest stick - Guest House Paradiso review by JD
This takes slap-stick to the furthest point. The stick does not get slappier than this. Despite the chaos being full on throughout it does not hurt any less. My sides split, my tears spilt. For me the 2 moments of ultimate ecstasy were when Simon Pegg is lifted off his bed by his nipple ring and when the hose intercom from kitchen to dining room is used as a pencil gun.
