Trivia:
In the original promotional campaign for Guest House Paradiso's cinema release Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson explicitly stated that it was "not Bottom" (hence the name differences and other inconsistencies with series in the movie) but they also said that they have pretty much always played the same characters for years ("The Young Ones" (1982), "Filthy Rich & Catflap" (1987), and "Bottom" (1991)) and this was just a new set. Perhaps the films not-so-stratospheric box office success caused the studio to add "The Bottom Movie" on its video release. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the "Vomit" scene, the door leading to the young married couple's room is covered in green slime but in the next shot it is clean. more
Quotes:
Mr Johnson:
I merely brushed your arm!
Richard Twat:
Well, we have already established that you're a liar, Mr Jones.
Mr Johnson:
Look, Mr Twat...
Richard Twat:
It's pronounced "Thwaite"!
Mr Johnson:
Well, It's spelled twat.
[pointing at Richie's name on the desk]
Mr Johnson:
T-W-A-T Twat!
Richard Twat:
Could you keep your voice down please? We do have normal guests, as well.

This is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen - from start to finish it was perfect in timing, atmosphere, punch lines, background music, fighting sequences and every other possible aspect you can think of. To be absolutely honest i find this movie as funny as their (Rik & Ade's) sitcom "Bottom" - maybe even funnier. I laughed constantly throughout the whole movie and can only recommend seeing this film... However, if you watch it without knowing (or liking?) the type of comedy Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson has done before, you might not think it's funny at all - but I REALLY can't understand those who dislike it - THIS IS HUMOUR FOLKS!!! (People getting hit with frying pans, guys running around wearing red rubber lingerie, green vomit filling the hallways, guys getting kicked in the b******s and getting candlesticks in the eyes - HOW can this NOT be funny???) 10/10
