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.

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

Trust me, you've gotta check this thing out at least once, especially if you like football.

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.

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."

An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior...

Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time!

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.

Utter garbage, and not "so bad it's good" like Birdemic that at least had a decent political undertone. This one is quite sexist and isn't meant to be satirical.

I’ve seen clips of this film before but never knew the name. Finally got a chance to watch it and wow…the acting is wild! Definitely stupid but not unbearable to watch. I appreciate these type stupidness.
