I don't know wether to favorite or dislike this movie... I'm just gonna do both. :P

UPDATE:
Remember how I said that there is only one way of seeing this and that is with Greg Sestero? Well I'm wrong. The ONLY way for me to EVER see this again, will be with Johnny himself, Tommy Wiseau, in the theater signing merchandise and showing a highlight reel of The Neighbors. I bought a script and he signed it "Love is Blind. Love, Tommy." Fucking brilliant! There were underwears with his name on them too but I just stuck to something I will treasure forever (until I lose it or it gets burned up in a fire). He even did a Q&A and man is he quick and witty (as quick as the best of them, wittier than I thought he could be), he has great self-awareness and has fully embraced his role. In between the showing of his sitcom, there was a short film, Shame on You, aimed at all the haters and features more explosions than a Michael Bay movie. I honestly cannot recall having a better time in a theater.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:
There's only one way to really see this movie and that is with Greg Sestero introducing the train wreck and providing a few anecdotes from the production and his acquaintance with the mysterious auteur, M. Wiseau. For starters, Greg, or Mark, is not that great of an actor but has the gift of a great memory that provided the material for one of the most entertaining reads I have ever experienced. You would think he would be able to drum up more enthusiasm to partake in audience reenactments of some of the finer scenes of this cinematic masterpiece but I guess after a decade of "Oh hi, Mark" you would be ready to move into the next phase in your career.

Sure there are few other ways to enjoy this "Citizen Kane of bad movies", but without the in-theater presence of one of the principal cast, you would have to settle for a midnight showing full of fans who have seen it more times than you have toes on your left foot. Yes it is fun in that environment but if you are watching it for the very first time or the first time in nearly a decade you feel like you just walked in on a very exclusive in-joke that has been going on for half the time you've been alive. By the end, you're in on the joke too and feel the need to rush home and have this playing on a loop in your studio apartment so you can better participate in the next monthly screening of this cinematic masterpiece. Or you can just move on with your life and do something more productive like learning from the failures of others to create something of real value to the rest of human society.

Honestly, I was expecting worse. This is really just daytime TV with soft core porn.

What does make it so funny is the bipolar scenes filled with horrendous dialogue delivered with such lacklustre performances. 'Amateur' does not even begin to describe the cast involved. I've seen primary school performances with more conviction.

The first act is just plain bad but once you finally get past the three opening sex scenes you are rewarded with the most unnatural, contradictory conversations and confusing character motivations in the history of cinema.

All the best scenes take place on the roof. Many of the other scenes are completely redundant filled with recycled dialogue, undeveloped characters and melodramatic cliches delivered by unexpressive actors.

Well, what can I say about this film? It's incredibly bad but after a while you just keep on watching to see how bad it can get. I ended up laughing out loud at how awkward it was. I confess I have watched it a second time, this time with someone else and we couldn't stop laughing.
For the first 30 min or so the film spoiler

. The rest of the film is soooo soooo awkward. So bizarre. Every dialogue, every scene seems so weird.lol
I think I read somewhere someone describing it best: it's as if a bunch of aliens had been observing earth and then tried to pass off as humans on film. ahah
