Must see - The Room review by AT
It really is so bad it’s a joy to watch??. And watch with friends ??. Go on. From awful acting and dialogue to bizzare set pieces, you’ll laugh so much.
A Disasterpiece of Epic Proportions - The Room review by griggs
Watching The Room is like being trapped in a soap opera written on cocktail napkins and staged in someone’s living room. Every scene is an unholy cocktail of wooden acting, inexplicable dialogue, and subplots that vanish before they make sense. It doesn’t so much tell a story as trip over one, pick itself up, and carry on as if nothing happened.
Tommy Wiseau’s performance is its own spectacle — part Shakespearean meltdown, part blank stare. He screams, he laughs, sometimes both at once, and it’s impossible to decide if he knows what he’s doing. The film insists on sincerity, even as it collapses under the weight of its own absurdity.
And here’s the punchline: it’s glorious fun. Watched with an audience, it mutates into performance art — spoons flying, lines shouted in chorus, the crowd laughing at every misstep. The Room is cinematic failure elevated into comedy by sheer accident. A wreck, yes, but an endlessly entertaining one.
