Guest House Paradiso Blu-Ray
After a decade of honing their signature characters Richie and Eddie in television and stage appearances, British comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (The Comic Strip Presents..., The Young Ones) finally gave the pair the big-screen debut they truly deserved in the wild, vomit-filled entertainment Guest House Paradiso.
When Mr Nice (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) and his family check into "Britain's cheapest hotel" – run with maximum inefficiency and neglect by Richie and Eddie – it sets off a scandalous chain of events involving rubber underwear, a beautiful Italian movie star (Hélène Mahieu), her violent fiancé (Vincent Cassel, Irreversible) and a shipment of radioactive fish. With a spectacular supporting cast, which also includes Fenella Fielding (Carry On Screaming!, Hammer's The Old Dark House) and Bill Nighy (Love Actually), this slapstick tour de force is a modern classic of British comedy that must be seen to be believed.
