Guest House Paradiso [DVD]

I'd forgotten how funny it was.

Bought as a present little bit expensive for what it is but no complaints really

What can I say, if you like Bottom & love Ade & Rik you'll love this film spin-off.Running the most remote hotel in the U.K. next to a Nuclear Power Station on the edge of a cliff is a recipe for comedy insanity.Yes, it's silly & a little bit pervy (as Rik would say) but all done in the best possible taste.Also stars Simon Pegg & the late great Fenella Fielding as the permanent hotel resident who is constantly conned by the gruesome twosome.A parody of the 1965 film Hotel Paradiso in part. Recommend.

Great British slapstick, not at the same level of greatness as Bottom, but not far off.Stupidity, comic violence and more stupidity, great stuff. 👍🏼

Had this on VHS , needed the DVD

The idea for Guest House Paradiso came about when Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson were touring around the country with Bottom Live. Staying in so many hotels made them wonder how Richie and Eddie (their characters from Bottom) would cope having to run one. Near the end of the writing Rik Mayall had his quad bike incident, an accident that had all Rik and Ade fans extremely worried, leaving Adrian Edmonson to finish off writing and to take up the role of Director.Rik and Ade's writing has always been about being ridiculous, from The Dangerous Brothers, The Comic Strip Presents ... Mr Jolly Lives Nextdoor, to Guest House Paradiso. They have simply extended that into a full length film. Complicated plots or quality of acting is not the priority for a film like this. Its the amount of stupidity, nob gags and violence that count.As for the latter, Rik and Ade have excelled throughout the years for the realism in their comedy fight routines, either live or on tv. You will not be disappointed in the kitchen scene at the beginning of the film. If slapstick violence is your thing then this scene will have you in tears. No matter how many times you watch it.Another extremely funny moment is when Simon Pegg, (from Big Train, Spaced, Shaun Of The Dead) is hoisted by his nipple up to the ceiling by Rich and Eddie using a fishing rod/hook. Very cringeworthy indeed.To sum up. This film will appeal to any Bottom fans, or indeed anybody who appreciates the ridiculous. However to see Rik and Ade at their best I recommend Mr Jolly Lives Nextdoor. Which is asbsolute perfection. "Never ever ever bloody anything ever" !

Been waiting to buy this on Blu ray for years.

Guest House Paradiso is a great fun film to watch and to see Rick & Ade at their very best. Had friends round to watch this and we all laughed our rear ends off. So sad that Rick is no longer with us as he and Ade were great writers of comedy together. Watch this if you want to have a night of laugher in with a bottle of wine or a beer or two.

Schnelle Lieferung und der Film ist sehr gut

Geweldige DVD met flinke Engelse humor over een hotel, die tegenover een kerncentrale ligt met allerlei perikelen met en van gasten.

You just can’t get this kind of entertainment in american films. Great for Rik and Adrian fans, or the Stooges for that matter... I had my dvd player modified just to play this movie in the states.

Brilliant

I am a fan of most of the actors in this film so I’m a tad prejudiced. May not be for everyone and probably more by completists and hardcore fans
