Guest House Paradiso

Common card · No. 263304

Guest House Paradiso is a 1999 British comedy film written by and starring comic duo Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. The film is a spin-off of their BBC comedy television series Bottom. Mayall and Edmondson reprise their roles from the series respectively as Richie and Eddie, now with different surnames and relocated to a new setting. The plot was inspired by their various hotel stays as they toured while performing Bottom Live throughout the 1990s. Mayall and Edmondson jointly wrote the film; initially, they planned to codirect, but after Mayall was involved in a significant accident prior to filming, Edmondson decided to handle directing duties marking it as his feature directorial debut. As of 2026, this remains Edmondson's sole directorial credit for a feature film. Guest House Paradiso utilises the Richie and Eddie characters from Bottom in a different scenario to that of the television series, with Mayall comparing it to Laurel and Hardy's practice of reusing the same characters...
