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
