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.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast It is, in short, the ne plus ultra of crap. A trash masterpiece. Nov 29, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire If there is a 21st-century Edward D. Wood Jr., it is probably Tommy Wiseau. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com Trust me, you've gotta check this thing out at least once, especially if you like football. Rated: F Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola Movie-Blogger.com 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. Rated: 0.5/5 Aug 24, 2024 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity 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." Rated: 3/10 Nov 19, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior...

Josh Suarez Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/22 Full Review Fallopia Tuba 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/21 Full Review Kay It’s so bad that it’s good Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/21 Full Review Nick R Yes, it absolutely sucks. It's earned it's title of one of the worst films ever made, and is bizarre in ways that other movies cannot match. But in many ways, we should praise the insanity of it and the legacy it has left us with; the very definition of being so bad, it's good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Jon K timeless masterpiece about a man that is a chicken. i did not give this a 5 out of 5 because it is not a room made by tommy wiseau, i felt scammed when i saw this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Samira L After hearing that this film was so popular that it has traditions when it comes to watching in theater, I definitely thought it would be a one of a kind film. To a certain extent it was, It has to be one of the only movies that is so bad in all aspects that people still find some way to enjoy it. In my case I don’t personally understand it. Maybe it’s one of those things you had to be there when it first came out to understand but i'm not sure. The script is bad, the acting is worse, the plot is all over the place and to top it all off, it’s terribly shot. I'm unsure what the wanted outcome was but it was a hard watch. I was so incredibly lost the entire time, when I started getting confused I gave the film the benefit of the doubt that some questions would be answered later. But I just kept having question after question and by the end I was confused and unsatisfied. The main actor, Tommy Wiseau, cannot act to save his life. Not even an amazing actor can save a train wreck of a script, but I'm convinced this guy couldn’t even do the bare minimum with the best script ever written. I am genuinely confused how this guy is a famous actor? Wouldn’t recommend it, I understand people view it as a “it’s so good it’s bad” kind of film but it’s somehow so bad I couldn’t even laugh at how bad it was and just wanted it to end. And for the love of god why are people throwing spoons at the screen? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
