Leave your thoughts about Blame It on the Bellboy.
| VarietyVariety StaffA lightweight ensemble comedy in which ingenious plotting is let down by weak dialog and stop-go direction that largely squanders the talent involved. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksWriter-director Mark Herman, with his first film, would like to deliver a throwback to the knockabout sex farces of old, but his touch is too heavy-handed and his jokes lack imagination. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonAs it bounces unmerrily along, Blame It on the Bellboy is half-intriguing, but rarely humorous. |
| User ReviewDavid AOne of the funniest spoofs I've ever seen. Highly under-rated. Exceptional performances by Richard Griffiths and Bronson Pinchot as the naive Bellboy. |
| User Reviewp bGOOD OLD BRITISH HUMOUR, OF THE FARCE KIND. |
| User ReviewR LFUNNIEST MOVIE EVER!! My favorite movie of all time!! |
| User ReviewMeg DAmazed at the lack of great reviews I found it a brilliant funny film! |
| User ReviewKenny OThese poor reviews are nonsense. It's a hilarious movie. One of the best. |
| User ReviewSue EPossibly one of the funiest identity mix ups I have seen |
| User ReviewRonald FGreat views of Venice. A farce with superb acting. (TV edited the naughty bed scene.) Just the medicine for a cold winter's evening. |
