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

If there is a 21st-century Edward D. Wood Jr., it is probably Tommy Wiseau. Go to Full Review

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

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

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 Patricia P @STARLATINA 2d I thought The Room was strange but also funny because of the awkward acting and confusing scenes. Some parts did not make sense, but that is what made the movie entertaining to watch. The characters were dramatic, and many scenes felt random. Even though the movie is known as a "bad movie," I think people enjoy it because it is memorable and different from normal films. See more Elin L @Elin_Agnes 3d It's an absolute 'must see'' in the sense that it's so bad. I do enjoy it, I always make sure to watch it with people who haven't heard of it. It is definitely the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. Which makes it a good watch. See more Rebecca O. @Rebecca_Orona 4d The only reason why I remember this file because of this one damn meme. It the “Oh, hi Mark” , get me giggling every time I think about this movie See more Read all reviews
