This film is not meant to be a comedy but that is precisely what it ends up being. It was written by, produced by, directed by, completely funded by and stars Tommy Wiseau, who is famous for reasons that he would probably rather not be.

I would love to tell you what this movie is about, but i honestly don't know. I think it has to do with the main character having a falling out with his fiance and discovers that she is having an affair with someone. However, let me go ahead and say this: It doesn't matter what the movie is about because everything about it is just so awful that it somehow manages to be entertaining.

The dialogue doesn't make sense, the sex scenes are terrifying, and the fact that Tommy Wideau can't act at all makes it strangely fun. Well, to be fair to Tommy no one else in this film can act either. The film is widely regarded as one of the worst movies of all time. Seriously, it is actually gets a bit uncomfortable to watch at times it is so bad.

You're tearing me apart Lisa!

When you are watching this movie (and i strongly recommend that you do) I want you to keep in mind that this train wreck of cinema actually cost $6 million to make. According to Greg Sestero, who was friends with Tommy and ended up as a supporting actor when Tommy fired the real actor on the first day of shooting, said that the budget spiraled out of control almost entirely because of Wiseau's bizarre decisions throughout filming. It was such a mess that Sestero actually ended up writing a book about the experience called "The Disaster Artist" which ended up being a best-seller and was recently made into a movie starring James Franco which ironically made a bunch of money and won some awards.

Tommy is smiling here, but likely crying on the inside

The trailer for this movie doesn't even begin to show how bad it is. I think it is actually quite deceptive as it involves nearly no dialogue.

Watching "The Disaster Artist" isn't going to make a great deal of sense to those that aren't at least a little bit familiar with the original movie so if you have some spare time seriously, you need to see this.

Of course it isn't good but it is widely regarded as "the best worst movie ever made." It's great fun and it gets the gooddream stamp of approval for how incredibly bad it is.

Great post! I highly recommend catching this film in a theatre if you ever have the opportunity. There's something special about being in a room with strangers who are all shouting out lines from the film and laughing together that you just can't recreate at home.

In principle, a good idea, quite interesting was the story about the life of a man who has everything and how he is losing it all. But here is the implementation ?! The film played a cruel joke with the audience! And it's not at all in the budget, which was big enough for an "independent" movie. It's all about the rest! Actors who do not even try to play, although it is worth acknowledging that they do not deny it. The script, which is frankly not brilliant with a variety of dialogues, has dozens of plot holes, inconsistencies in the scenario with staging scenes and completely silly remarks (some sound as if backwards), from which you start to ask: "What did they smoke?". Surprisingly, I still strongly recommend that this film be viewed. He is so bad, ridiculous and simply miserable that he can rightly be called a masterpiece. After all, Wiseau gave us an hour and a half of almost continuous laughter, and who can blame him for this? "Room" can be seen, even you can get some pleasure from viewing. This film definitely deserves the highest score, if only for the fact that it's rare when a really bad movie deserves a viewing.

There's a special category of films. The 'so bad it's good' category. Films created with the best intentions that ended up so bad that they cross the line of their genres and move to the comedy section. Well the Room is the king of all these films. Written, directed and produced by that alien life form our world known as Tommy Wiseau, the Room tells the story of Johnny a banker who loves his Lisa so much and he's happy that has Mark as his best friend. Lisa by the way is an average looking chubby woman that in the Room's universe is hotter than Megan Fox. Mark is a model looking man that will not hesitate throwing you off the roof and apologize some seconds later. There's also Denny a neighbor/son/retarded weirdo that likes to watch people having sex. There's also Claudette, Lisa's mother who's dying of breast cancer. Other characters you ask? Well we have Chris R. who sells drugs to kids before getting paid, Mike and Michelle, two chocolate lovers (I mean that literally), Peter a psychologist who transforms into Steven and a dog that looks like a frog. Confused? Don't be. Everything makes sense in Tommy's mind.

What make the Room superior to all of the 'so bad it's good' films is the fact that it's (like the trailer said) a riot. You see unlike other films that have 1-2 unintentionally funny scenes and the rest is a bore the Room is a non-stop extravaganza. Literally every scene has something wrong. Every scene has one quote that will stay in your mind forever. Because I forgot to mention that The Room is also the most quotable film of all time. The Godfather? Pulp Fiction? Star Wars? No. Just no. The Room beats the all.

At the end The Room is the worst and best film of all time. It's a paradox film.

@allthereviews(51)· 2872d

@itzzzsumon(58)· 2872d

This is seriously one of my favorite movies despite how 'bad' it is. I can't think of any movie that has so much watch ability and is so much fun!!!

@prince121(61)· 2872d

The first time i watched The Room i was high as fuck. I didnt know anything about the movie and i started to question my own sanity because something seemed really off about this movie and i thought it was just me.

The acting and editing was completely bizarre to me but i just blamed it on me being high

@nuthman(74)· 2872d

Lol! I've been meaning to watch this for a while now.. I've been reading about it around the internet. I have seen some really bad movies in my time so this film has a lot of competition!

I think this post is the icing on the cake, I'm gonna watch it on our projector screen with my wife. haha. I won't tell her anything about it, just say it is a romantic comedy.

@lupecoin(47)· 2872d

10/10 you got this one wrong. Best movie ever made. Oh hi Denny!
