Synopsis

Ted is a bellhop on his first night on the job in the Mon Signor Hotel. He ends up in differentawkward situations as his services are demanded in four of the hotel rooms. The trouble starts when he enters the Honeymoon Suite, which hosts a coven of witches, who are in need of some male semen to call their goddess back to life (Madonna plays Elspeth, one of the witches). once escaped, his problems aren't over, as he enters in a violent domestic argument, and then later finds himself babysitting a gangster's kid.

Rating

Each situation in one of the four hotel rooms is directed by a different director. However, the result is 4 shorts stitched together, rather than one movie. The humour builds mainly on exageration of the situation, but the plots and the acting performances are too poor to make the idea work. Madonna's role is limited to a few lines only, but maybe this is better, so she doesn't get too much of a chance to make a fool out of herself. 3/10

How would you rate this movie? (10=excellent - 1=terrible)
