It's Ted the Bellhop's first night on the job...and the hotel's very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments. It seems that this evening's room service is serving up one unbelievable happening after another.
Four Rooms is an uneven anthology comedy united by Tim Roth's increasingly frazzled bellhop. The plot varies wildly in quality across the four segments — Tarantino's finger-chopping finale is genuinely memorable and earns a strong Ending score, while the earlier rooms (particularly Allison Anders' witch coven segment) feel meandering. Acting is inconsistent but energetic, with Roth carrying the film admirably. Cinematography is competent but unremarkable. The anthology format with four distinct directors gives it some novelty, though the concept itself isn't entirely fresh.
