Josh Suarez Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! Rated 5/5 Stars •  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.

The dialogue is weird, and the scenes come out of nowhere – you'll be scratching your head a lot. The acting? Well, Tommy really goes for it, and it's intense, but, in a funny way, kinda awkward. That's what makes The Room so special . It’s got this rep for being so bad, it's great. think of it like a train wreck – you just can't look away. If you want a movie that's funny without even trying, and is packed with bizarre stuff, check this one out, seriously. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Ryan P The Room is a romantic-drama film first screened in 2003 that was directed by Tommy Wiseau. But Tommy Wiseau didn’t just direct the film, he took it upon himself to be both a screenwriter for the film and act as the main character Johnny. It is not an uncommon practice to have two roles in the pre-production of the film, but having three of them is not only a test of ego, but of the human will. If this early red flag doesn’t give you an idea of how bad the final product is, but let’s go more in depth if that wasn’t enough to convince you to avoid watching this film. First off, I personally don’t think the initial plot itself was that bad and it could’ve been something much more meaningful if it was done correctly. The constant setting/place of the movie can be overlooked, because of its title "The Room" but everything else can’t. The acting was flat out bad, both in dialogue and physical performance. It felt as if everyone was possessed by Cathulu and were being forced to speak/act in certain ways, which is bad for a movie that’s trying to be realistic. In addition, the plot was also filled with other mini character arcs that didn’t seem to matter or add up at all in the end. For example, Denny’s drug use didn’t go anywhere after it was discovered and was seemingly discarded. While other moments such as lengthy dialogue, doesn’t fuel any of the character’s motivations to intervene in what was going on between Lisa and Mark. Every character lacked conviction or action and only seemed to exist as a device for expression that doesn’t even go anywhere. They’re all weak! And when you think it can’t get any worse as you keep watching it, it somehow proves you wrong. It was included with long sex scenes. They went on for far too long than they should’ve to the point where it makes you feel uncomfortable. I ended up fast forwarding through the other instances of this after the first one and I’m glad I did. I can’t find a single reason for why they were so long in general, it was just stupid. In conclusion, I do not recommend watching this film under any circumstance and would recommend you delegate your time to anything else. It’s not worth spending two hours of your life just to understand the film’s entirety beyond the internet memes being made about it today. It completely misfired on its original intent of being a romantic drama movie and turned itself into a laughing stock. The Room is a bundle of what not to do when making a film and is only appreciated by those who find its bad quality humorous. Leave your understanding of the film at the surface of internet memes, and nothing more or else you might regret how you spent 2 hours watching it.

It's as if an alien decided to make a movie, never having seen a movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
