This movie features the collaborative directorial efforts of four new
filmmakers, each of whom directs a segment of this comedy. It's New
Year's Eve at the Mon Signor Hotel, a former grand old Hollywood hotel,
now fallen upon hard times. Often using physical comedy and sight gags,
this movie chronicles the slapstick misadventures of Ted, the Bellhop.
He's on his first night on the job, when he's asked to help out a coven
of witches in the Honeymoon Suite. Things only get worse when he
delivers ice to the wrong room and ends up in a domestic argument at a
really bad time. Next, he foolishly agrees to watch a gangster's kids
for him while he's away. Finally, he finishes off the night refereeing a
ghastly wager.

Perhaps only Spike Lee could make a dignified yet extremely funny
comedy-drama about phone sex. Theresa Randle (Bad Boys) is the title
character, a hard-working actress who becomes addicted to this peculiar
form of safe sex (the movie is verbal, not physical, in that department)
at a high-class New York agency. Throughout the film, Girl 6 (she's
unnamed beyond this) sports a dazzling array of new looks, hairstyles,
and clothes. Randle radiates every step of the way.

Wayne Wang's follow-up movie to Smoke presents a series of
improvisational situations strung together to form a pastiche of
Brooklyn's diverse ethnicity, offbeat humor, and essential humanity.
Many of the same characters inhabiting Auggie Wren's Brooklyn Cigar
Store in Smoke return here to expound on their philosophy of smoking,
relationships, baseball, New York, and Belgian Waffles. Most of all,
this is a movie about living life, off-the-cuff.
