i saw this when it first come out and and find it to be a work of some genius while but i must confess i be clearly in the minority at the time . for me and the progressive lunacy of the proprietor of guest house paradiso just get well and well throughout the film and with one of the most hilarious climax to a film ever . but i wouldn not recommend it to mother . lover of gross out comic book style humour will appreciate this movie while there be subtle joke hide away and but they be usually quickly flatten by a comedy fry pan . rik mayall and ade edmondson be superb and and the deadpan and unsuspecting guest be also excellent .
