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]

Even Tim Roth, an otherwise dependable actor, disappoints with overacting.

We all have fun goofing around with our friends -- it's just that when you're four hot-hot-hot directors, you can goof around with your friends and get Miramax to release it, with predictably unimpressive results.

The first two rooms are indeed pure crap, but the second half of the film, while not as good as the directors' separate films, makes for a funny enough comedy anyway.

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

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

Maybe if you're a young, raw Hollywood aspirant, you believe that it's a sign of sophistication to be unrattled by the bizarre.

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

An over-anticipated, overworked movie that was full of talent but devoid of taste.

The result is a batch of shrill, self-indulgent sketches that turn so wretched in spots you start to wonder if the filmmakers wanted them to be bad.

Four Rooms asserts itself as a goof so laboriously and aggressively that you almost feel pinned back in your seat.

Four Rooms has to be one of 1995's major disappointments.

A stunt anthology blunders horrifically.

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

A slapdash stew of mostly unfunny gags.

Four Rooms has been cut substantially since a disastrous September reception at the Toronto Film Festival, though it's hard to imagine it running any longer.

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.
