One of my all time favorites.
Just perfect...
Absolutely the worst movie.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The Room is the greatest mess in cinematic history. It is the Citizen Kane of bad movies. It is the answer to the question of what would happen if something went so far below a zero that it somehow became a 10.This movie is unwatchably watchable. If you were to sit down and try to watch take this seriously, it would feel like you're being stabbed in the head. But sitting down to watch this as a delusional vanity project gone awry and it becomes one of the best 90 minutes you'll get out of a film.The Room is what the result would be if an alien species studied late 90's soap opera TV, had a computer program amalgamate a script and then was performed by the aliens in human skin like the first Men In Black movie.There's a sad truth in film though. While its a mess, its clearly written from some place of truth or experience in Tommy Wiseau's heart. There's something of a biopic going on here, where nice guy Johnny gets manipulated, lied to and taken advantage of by the people close to him. A lot of the dialogue sounds like something from a bitter ex-lover.
I watched this movie and it's so bad!!! Maybe the worst movie I've ever seen. I rated it 5 because it's worth watching. I assure anyone who watches it that you'll laugh so much!!!
Im not a shrink or anything but I got the impression that this film is autobiographal or rather writers twisted view on events. Its basically the main characters parranoyer, The whole thing just screams it. The female lead sleeps with everyone, she cliams that he hits her and he deneys it and theres no other real mention about that. No one ever says anything bad about him, like at all. I think this actually happened but we are just seeing what Tommy Wiseau wanted to actually happen. Away from all the head shrink stuff it gets no better, script was awful, cinermatography was awful, music, acting, lighting, all of it was awful. I suppose I could give the camera guy a point for nat falling asleep of boardom so theres one point. Ohh and now that i think of it it almost takes skill to use the same lines over and over again with tiny differences, so theres another with me being kind. sorry about the spelling
The Room is literally the Citizen Kane of bad movies. The acting is terrible and lots of subplots. But, before I watched this film, I heard somewhere on YouTube and saw the title "The Room" so I assumed it was just some crappy horror film and forgot about it. I had no idea who Tommy Wiseau was, until The Disaster Artist came out. So as you can guess, I got curious. And I watched the film. It was NOT what I thought it was. It was just so weird and odd. It's not just Tommy Wiseau who's odd, every actor in this film seems odd. The film is about a successful banker named Johnny (Tommy Wiseau) who live happily in San Francisco with his fiancée, or "future wife" Lisa (Julliete Dannielte). Until she gets board for no reason, and cheats on him with his best friend Mark (Greg Sestro). From there on, nothing will be the same.This is one of those films where it's so bad it's good. And I am a big fan of this movie and can't stop watching it. Tommy Wiseau himself has stated that this film was always meant to be a comedy, so I guess it was never actually meant to be taken seriously.Now, I've talked a lot about the bad stuff, but let's talk about the good stuff.I think the reason why people still watch this film is because it brings people together. All over the world there's midnight screenings of it and people love it and laugh together and throw footballs to each other. It's very funny and I highly recommend it.When I watch The Room today, and don't see a funny cult classic. I see a reflection of an odd but very talented man who had a very clear vision and wanted to share it with the world. I think one thing I love about Tommy Wiseau is, he dosen't care what other people think, and I really respect him for that. So I'll end this review with a quote by Tommy Wiseau."You can laugh, you can cry, but please don't hurt each other" - Tommy Wiseau
