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 Filippos S Wow.. If you are in stoned mood with friends, it's a fantastic trash masterpiece. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Marcela S BEST MOVIE EVER!!!! My favourite movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Shioka O It's too bad. The acting is so terrible and look almost like a home video. but I ended up watching this until the end....
