If you've ever even dipped your toe into reviewing, watching, or commenting on bad movies then you've heard about The Room, it's really that simple. Some of the quotes are downright iconic and the haphazard flow of the story never lets up for a second. I love being reminded that making movies is a hard business and this one was like a sledgehammer to the head.
You have to almost admire the fact that something like this exists. This whole project is the story of a man pursuing his dream to make a movie and have it be well known. You can't deny that Wiseau succeeded. The whole project is a testament to pursuing your dream and never giving up.
I first heard of this movie when I saw THE DISASTER ARTIST. I have to say I was expecting worse. The film is crap, mediocre, unprofessional, amateurish, but it's a pleasure to watch. Poor acting of every single member of the cast only adds fun to the mix. Please make sure you don't miss Lisa's mother telling her she has breast cancer using the same tone she would use to say she has the painters at home. Totally recommended. If you know what you are watching, and manage your expectations accordingly, you won't be disappointed and will be in a better mood after watching it..
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
is like a very corny, low budget soft porn movie.And when I say low budget I really mean it since one of the sex scenes uses the exact same footage from a previous one
. 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
There are bad movies that are just horrible bad, like Green Lantern and there are movies like The Room that are also horrible bad but watchable and entertaining as f**k.
Also
never saw so many sex scenes in one movie. Not even porn
I have to comment on this film, and it's not because of its poor quality compared to masterpieces. What I love about The Room is that it captivates one in front of the screen all the way through. Do not watch it alone, but with friends or complete strangers and just enjoy the moment. This film can bring people together who disagree about politics and together you will forget the world's problems for a time and see a man fails in the attempt to imitate his idols, James Dean, among others. It's a drama, more entertaining than most comedies and it's in many ways a unique achievement. All who participate in the production looks completely lost on the screen, nothing is working at all and you sit at the end and wonder if it's all a big joke, because no one can make something so incoherent, cut it together, release it and be proud of the result . That nothing makes sense and has got so much attention is a huge achievement, the man has achieved what he wanted and has undoubtedly earned much money on his lack of talent.
The Room is an electrifying movie about love, passion, betrayal and lies. It has five major characters, Johnny is a successful banker with great respect for an dedication to the people in his life, especially his future wife Lisa. Johnny can also be a little too trusiting at times which haunts him later on. Lisa, is the fiance of Johnny. She has always gotten her way and will manipulate to get what she wants. She is a taker, with a double personality, and her deadly schemes lead to her own downfall. Mark, is a young, successful and independent best friend of Johnny. He has a good heart, but gets caught up in Lisa's dangerous web and gives in to temptation. This eventually brings him to great loss. Claudette is the classy, sophisticated mother of Lisa who has had disappointing relationships in her life. She wants her daughter to be married as soon as possible so she can benefit. Denny, is an orphan boy, naive and confused about life, love, and friendship. Denny is a very ambitions and also very grateful tot he people who are in his life. "The Room" depicts the depths of frienships and relationships in one life and raises life's ral and most asked question: "Can you ever really trust anyone? Enter The Room and leave forever changed!

What we've learned: there is no Barista #1, a digital clock should not show the hours, sex scenes need to last 3 to 4 minutes, be sure to make way for the actor about to ring the bell to come on set, having your adopted kid fantasizing about marrying your fiancé is love (because love is blind), making 6 million dollar therapeutic movies should be done a lot more.Warrison
