4/10
I prefer the TV show

When I was 11 going on 12, I never heard of this film until I saw a TV advert for it's video release. I actually thought it was a straight to video film.

The question is how do you make a movie based on Bottom? Doing a live show is one thing, but a movie? Since Rik and Ade are big Fawlty Towers fans and always reference it in their work, they decided to have Richie and Eddie run a hotel with their own Bottom style to it.

There were some scenes I liked such as the kitchen fight, the scene where Richie is wearing the bikini and is trying to hide from everyone and my fave scene "I want to eat it naked."

But yeah, the film is ruined by the overlong vomit scene which I still have nightmares about. Why did Rik and Ade think that people would want to go to the cinema to see a finale that involves vomiting.

I put that scene on my "The most disgusting scenes in movies" rightfully so.

Also, why did the guests vomit on Gino? They never met this guy. Why are they vomiting on him? And then they killed him. That's great. A group of innocent people just killed someone.

Also, I feel sorry for the guests, because now that they've eaten radioactive waste, they would probably have to get new organs because their old ones were probably destroyed by the radioactive waste. I'm no expert on radioactive waste, but I'm guessing that's what probably happen to you if you eat it.

And what happen to Richie and Eddie who have made their stay Hell? They get tickets for the Caribbean. Yeah, I'm suppose to root for 2 men who nearly killed innocent people and don't care about them.

Bottom works as a TV show, but not as a movie. This movie pretty much ruined Rik and Ade's career just like the way Les Patterson Saves The World ruined Barry Humphries' career.
