What to Know

Critics Consensus

A bona fide classic of midnight cinema, Tommy Wiseau's misguided masterpiece subverts the rules of filmmaking with a boundless enthusiasm that renders such mundanities as acting, screenwriting, and cinematography utterly irrelevant. You will never see a football the same way again.

It is, in short, the ne plus ultra of crap. A trash masterpiece. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016
If there is a 21st-century Edward D. Wood Jr., it is probably Tommy Wiseau. Go to Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com 04/17/2015

Trust me, you've gotta check this thing out at least once, especially if you like football. Go to Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola Movie-Blogger.com 08/24/2024

It takes a special kind of ‘bad’ to gain a cult following, let alone a film that tries a little too hard. And for all its intents and purposes, “The Room” is that movie. Go to Full Review Ray Pride Newcity 11/19/2023

I bet Wiseau’s first feature could make Ed Wood’s bones dance... The level of genius necessary to emulate authentic incompetence would approach Borgesian heights: there will be no pastiche called “Pierre Menard, Director of ‘The Room." Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 06/08/2023
An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Max Wilke May 29 A lot of bad writing and acting, but definitely worth watching for comedy See more Josh Suarez 01/23/2022 Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! See more Fallopia Tuba 09/11/2021 Oh, it sucked! It was a terrible movie about horrible people doing awful things to each other! At the same time it was a breathtaking travelogue of San Francisco, so that was something. But otherwise, the movie had no redeeming qualities—but at least I fully expected that. Put it in the "so bad it's good" category I'd probably see it again, if only for the camp value. See more Kay 07/26/2021 It’s so bad that it’s good See more Lasse L @RT62932725 Jul 15 The Room is such a baffling film. There are so many terrible choices in the writing and direction. It's uniquely inept, and Tommy Wiseau's vision is so strange that it somehow makes for great entertainment. The Room is deserving of its reputation as the perfect fun-bad film.
