Review of Guest House Paradiso (1999) by Graham M — 10 Sep 2012

CONTAINS SPOILERS: I love Rik and Ade and the TV series but this movie doesn't work for me. There were a few scenes I found funny such as the kitchen fight, Richie wearing the bikini and trying to hide from everyone and the "I want to eat it naked" was very well done. But sadly, those are the only scenes I liked.

Yes, the vomit scene at the end was gross and I still have nightmares about it. Especially when Richie, Eddie and Gina get chased by the big ball of vomit. I'll give it a point for imagination but it's just so gross. It seemed funny on paper, but on film, not so much. Also, why did the guests go into the corridor to vomit and why did they vomit all over the bad guy? They don't even Know this guy. The villain goes flying out the window and drowns in the sea. That's great. A group of innocent people just killed someone.

All the guests go into quarantine and what happens to the poisoners? They get tickets to the Caribbean. Oh wow. I feel sorry for those guests.

Overall, I didn't like this film. It just made feel comfortable. I'll just stick with the TV show.
