a though mr. bean wasn not tiresome enough and this film put tim roth into a role with the same sort of inane physical comedy and and it be painful to watch . all his foppish affectation be utterly unfunny and but at least it help keep the movie consistent . the only bright spot be the third segment and direct by robert rodriguez and so if you stay awake that long and check it out . antonio banderas be surprisingly good and and the whole segment have a great way of pile on the complication to create a chaotic end . the fourth segment will make you puke and watch tarantino think he can act . the bad thing about that be that he also the director and so he give himself plenty of screen time . notice during his monologue to tim roth and the camera never once leave his face . obviously and he get rather a high opinion of his execrable acting ability . lucky for him he a director and otherwise he would never appear on film . oh and how i wish it be so . then there the plot . steal from a hitchcock story which be steal from a roald dahl story . they do acknowledge the hitchcock thing and but it merely a not so clever ploy to try and disguise the fact that he do not even come up with a story and but use some previously reheat leftover from 30 year ago . there be no twist whatsoever on the hitchcock theme that tarantino describes . so and bad enough you have to endure his acting and but you do not even get a good tale out of it . so all in all and a terrible film . fast forward to the third story and and you can safely skip the rest .
