At three times as long it is a bit of a chore. There's nothing here that hasn't been done funnier in Bottom and The Young Ones. Maybe I've become old and tweed but a drawn out fighting with pans and various kitchen utensils wears thin after the first minute or so. Being a huge fan of Bottom as a 10 year old (taping it then watching them when mum wasn't around because she was scared I was going to end up like them if I watched it too much) I was quite looking foward to this film though the slapstick hilarity of Bottom is maily because it's so concentrated and intense. Guest House Paradiso takes this vital ingredient away and leaves you wondering why they ever bothered. This film probably would have been a disappointment if it were only half an hour long.
