Ladies Room

This is the first DVD I ever bought. I was having my player delivered and I wanted to have a DVD so I could check if it worked. I bought this particular DVD because the story sounded funny, but mainly because it was cheap, only 5 euros.

If there is one thing I have learned from this movie, it's that you get what you pay for, because this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Granted it improves as it moves along, that is if you get past the first thirty minutes. The only reason I watched the entire movie is because I'd rather watch an hour and a half of an average movie than thirty minutes of a really bad movie. And fortunately it did move from really bad to average. But that won't give me my 5 euros back will it?

My advice, don't buy it, don't rent it, don't watch it.

0/5 stars

I agree with the above review...truly dreadful.

This film wastes good actors like Greta Scacchi and Lorraine Bracco and even Mr Malcovich with a dreadful accent and playing his usual character doesn't help anything. The problem is that it starts so badly and the good parts come too late. The idea of mistresses meeting the wives of the men they are seeing in ladies toilets is a great one, and full of potency. However the director's use of theatrical devices reminds me of a 3rd year drama student's end of year performance. To further compound the comparison, they add a dash of lipstick lesbianism and there is even a large glass bowl of Ferrero Roche chocolates which are supposed to be a classy addition I suspect.

This film is just like an extended version of the Ambassadors ball.

While the film is most definitely not what the video cover would suggest (a farce), it does turn out to be a wonderful surreal comedy, with (gasp!) a point to the story. I understand why some may be to say the least disappointed however, I found it to be very entertaining art piece, which is not easily done. Recommended for viewers who enjoy something a bit off (not in a screwball way, but in an artistic way). Those who are looking for a good classic farce (and I love a good farce) are better off with "Clue" or "Noises Off", two of my personal favorites.

"Ladies Room" came from TV1000. I liked the movie so much that i looked it twice same day :)

The clue in this movie is follow independent scenes that eventually point to something else. Movie is comedy with flavor of black humour. Everything is built with sense and care.

But who is playing/singing in last scenes where Roberto(Malkovits) is staying out looking ambulance leaving? If anybody can tell me from where to find this music plz email, thanks!

Seeing John Malkovich and Greta Scacchi on the cover credits raised expectations, but this film was very disappointing in many ways. The director was apparently quite desperate to make this an "arty" movie, but the acting was very poor at times and the attempts at jokes were embarrassingly bad. I just couldn't believe that John Malkovich agreed to appear in such a low quality film....
