Ted, the only bellhop working the Mon Singnor Hotel on New Year's Eve, has what may turn out to be the worst, or best night of his life. No doubt the third story is the best. "The Misbehavers" by Robert Rodriguez, could have been a stand-alone short film, and that's saying something. I don't believe I have ever laughed so hard as when I saw this story for the first time. Ala Murphy's Law, anything and everything that could go wrong does. I will go as far as to say that this film could be perfect, if only they had left out the useless, boring, and hopelessly unfunny first story by Alison Anders. No offense to Miss Anders, but what happened with this story? When raising a dead bondage idol, witches must take off their tops? Actually, not all of them do. Only the actresses that were willing to do so have to, apparently. The rest may stay fully clothed with no hindrance to the magic. Now, I don't care either way, but all or none, eh? The second and fourth stories are both equal parts funny and bizarre, but can't hold a candle to story #3. Take my advice, get this movie, but when you watch it, as soon as the introductory scene is over, fast forward about twenty minutes.
