In one room, a coven of young witches congregate to bring their leader back from the dead... and they're just dying to use Ted in a rather personal way. In another room, the bellhop becomes a pawn in a couple's kinky psychological games. A third room is being torn apart by two unruly kids while their parents are out painting the town red. And in a fourth, three men involve Ted in a bet -- one that has potentially bloody results. [More]

Anthology films never work; Tarantino is not infallible; casting Madonna as a lesbian witch and Bruce Willis in a silly party hat doesn't necessarily make for great entertainment.

They should have called this One Room and released it as a Rodriguez short.

Results in a wildly uneven, temperamental, and ultimately disappointing mish-mash of cameos, in-jokes, and stories that fail to engage.

As a whole, Four Rooms is only diverting, and pretty mindless, but at its best it's a lot of fun.

The results are mainly awful, and even Roth got saddled with a mannered part that he can't comfortably play.

The four segments are widely different in quality. On the useful scale of the Michelin guides, one is worth a trip, another is worth a detour, and the other two are a colossal waste of bandwidth.

O episódio dirigido por Taratino, que funciona como uma grande preparação para uma excelente tirada final, é memorável. Pena que temos que assistir a uma hora de besteiras para chegar até ele.

A stunt anthology blunders horrifically.

If anything, it may give pause to those who think Tarantino can do no wrong.

The final tale is a real treat; too bad you have to wade through such awfulness just to get there.

Begins with two awful segments, which you'll want to fast-forward past to get to the third and fourth segments.

Four Rooms never lives up to the hype and should discourage the directors from working together again.
