  After a decade of honing their signature characters, Richie and Eddie, across TV and stage-show appearances, British comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (The Comic Strip Presents..., The Young Ones) finally gave the pair the big-screen outing which they truly deserved in the riotous, vomit-soaked entertainment that is Guest House Paradiso. When Mr Nice (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) and his family check in to ˜the cheapest hotel in Britain' run with maximum inefficiency and malfeasance by Richie and Eddie it sets off an outrageous chain of events involving rubber underwear, a beautiful Italian film star (Hélène Mahieu), her abusive fiancé (Vincent Cassel, Irreversible), and a consignment of radioactive fish. Featuring 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 latter-day classic of disreputable British comedy, which has to be seen to be believed.
