the first time i have hear of guest house paridiso be in the and er . washroom after have just see fight club . in each urinal be deposit a small and round black circle . when the circle come into contact with moisture ( to put it delicately ) and it cause a colour picture to form and with photograph of the two star and the tag line you will p yourself laugh . when you would finish wash your hand and the circle have dry and fade to black again and wait to spring it surprise on the next victim . okay and maybe the punchline wasn not terribly sophisticated and but you have to admit it be innovative . in fact and i think i can honestly say i have never see anything like it in my life before and and these day of over a century of cinema and marketing and that a real feat . what a pity the film that go with it fail to live up to the promise . i hate to pan guest house paridiso and i be indebted to rik mayall ( richard twat ) and adrian edmondson ( eddie elizabeth ndingombaba ) for many year of laughter through their appealing television series and be it the invention of the young one ( 1982 1984 ) and the sitting room play of bottom ( 1991 1995 ) and or even solo work and such a rik in the new statesman ( 1988 1993 ) . in fact and this would have make an hilarious 45 minute tv special . unfortunately and it an 89 minute film . there definitely some merit to be have and and i laugh continuously throughout the protracted finale and which spoof the exorcist and raider of the lose ark and and involve . well and you will have to see that bit for yourself . yet often the pace be leaden and and a sterile atmosphere be throughout . the two star ( edmondson take his usual backseat and this time due to the fact that he adequately direct ) never really get into first gear and mayall only sporadically show the foul mouth mania that make u love him on the small screen . indeed and the writer presumption that we be already familiar with the character lead to them be underdelivered to the audience . the slight hint of depth see in the series ( richie effeminate and fail social climb for example ) be not present here and and instead we be leave with parody of parody . the fawlty tower accusation do pass water and complete with drunken chef and unseen and call for waiter pasquele and which uncannily rhyme with manuel . some of the idea and such a hotel next to a nuclear reactor with a childrens swing hanging over a cliff face and be very and very funny and but ultimately the frenetic pace be steal and the two constantly look for a studio audience that isn not there and and all the dead laugh area patch up with incidental comedy music that would have be date in a carry on film two decade ago . paridiso brand of puerile and sadistic and perverse humour be funny and and i feel sure it will make you laugh . just not as often a it should .
