Blame It on the Bellboy is a 1992 comedy film directed by Mark Herman, starring Dudley Moore, Bryan Brown, and Richard Griffiths. The movie takes place in Venice, Italy, where three men with similar-sounding names arrive at the same hotel. The mix-up at the reception desk causes chaos and confusion, leading to a series of comic mishaps and misunderstandings.
Mike Lawton (played by Brown) is a professional hitman who is hired to take out a notorious mobster, Gianfranco Barri (played by Andreas Katsulas). However, the bellboy confuses him with Maurice Horton (played by Moore), a shy and timid man who is in Venice to meet a blind date. Mike meets with a real estate agent (played by Alison Steadman), who mistakes him for Melvin Orton (played by Griffiths), a wealthy businessman who is looking to purchase a property in Venice.
Meanwhile, Maurice is mistaken for Mike by the blind date (played by Patsy Kensit), and he takes her out for a night on the town. Melvin, on the other hand, is mistaken for Maurice by Barri's wife (played by Bronwen Mantel), and he is brought to the mobster's house, where he is mistaken for the hitman who was sent to kill Barri.
As the three men navigate through their mistaken identities, they become entangled in a web of romantic and criminal misadventures that lead to a hilarious climax. The movie is full of slapstick humor, witty one-liners, and clever sight gags that keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout.
Blame It on the Bellboy is a lighthearted and fun movie that celebrates the absurdity of human nature and the joy of a good laugh. It is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good comedy and is looking for a movie that will make them smile.
