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.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Avery C As Professor Roth mentioned in lecture, "The Room" is famous for being one of those so-bad-it’s-good movies. But for me, someone who doesn’t totally get that whole vibe, the film wasn’t exactly a great experience. Yeah, there were a few moments that were unintentionally funny, but overall, it felt like a drag. I get why it’s a cult classic—the bizarre writing and weird acting can be pretty entertaining at times. But even those odd moments didn’t make up for how slow and poorly paced the film was. Seriously, the pacing is awful. Scenes go on way too long, and the repetition just makes it hard to stay engaged. There were a lot of pointless conversations and repetitive moments, like the awkward rooftop arguments that just kept dragging. John, who’s supposed to be the main character, was awkward in a way that wasn’t always funny. The dialogue is hilariously bad, which is definitely the best part of the movie, but even that couldn’t save it for me. I finally figured out where all those "Hi, Mark!" memes came from—those awkward conversations are funny because they’re so random, but they didn’t hold my attention enough to keep me hooked for the whole movie. While "The Room" might work as a joke in a theater setting, like Professor Roth said, it’s mostly just a boring watch on its own. The occasional laughs weren’t enough to make up for the rest. Overall, I thought the movie was just kinda mid—good concept, but the acting and awkward dialogue didn’t always land. Some of the humor was funny, so at least it wasn’t a total bore.
