I simply couldn't keep my comments in my pocket any longer. "The Room" is an expertly crafted "black" comedy by an idiosyncratic filmmaker, but it's also much more than that.

Producer/writer/director/star Tommy Wiseau somehow managed to achieve the impossible with "The Room". Besides delivering a knee-slapping chucklefest for discriminating purveyors of alternative-style humor like myself (and my future wife, who watched it with me), this cinematic gem is also a thinly veiled love letter from Mr. Wiseau to all the ladies of the world.

This is most evident by all the time "Johnny" dedicates to keeping "Lisa" satisfied in "The Room". The prowess he displays in the bedroom is staggering. My future wife played it off, but she noticed. I mean, how could I blame her?

Just take that trademark slow-but-steady thrust Johnny delivers to Lisa's abdominal region on numerous occasions. Or how his arm stays flexed when he's spooning with her, even when he's sound asleep. Johnny hasn't even gotten started before he sets pulses racing by giving female viewers an ample opportunity to steal a glimpse of his beautiful buttocks.

I had to change me underwears four times the night we viewed this film, so it's alright by me that a guy who made me laugh THAT much captured my future wife's imagination while I was away washing up. But keep in mind...I just like to watch.

This romantic drama film written, directed, produced by Tommy Wiseau is a great example of 'it's so bad, it's good'. Some audiences found the bizarre storytelling, entertaining, despite the film's many various technical and narrative flaws. It got so popular, that film screening parties were set up, for fans of the film to have fun throwing plastic spoons at the film, blurting out the film's dialogue, or tossing footballs around. It's really shocking to see how many people would flock to the theaters, just to partake in it. After all, you don't want to watch this alone, it's dull & boring. It will be a mistake. The downer ending doesn't help. However, I do like the shout-outs references to the older 1940s/1950 films. The film tells the story of a melodramatic love triangle between a good-natured banker, named Johnny (Tommy Wiseau), his fiancée Lisa (Juliette Danielle), and his conflicted best friend, Mark (Greg Sestero) whom Lisa has secretly been seeing behind Johnny's back. Sadly, this love affair is way drawn-out and its sex scenes are sickening. They don't seem to serve any purpose other than Padding. Worse, according to cast and crew, Tommy had bad body odor issues; because of this, they used clips of the first sex scene in the second sex scene, because the actors refused to do yet another. Against the backdrop of Lisa and Mark's affair, are numerous subplots involving secondary characters that has little to do with the main plot, such as drug deal goes wrong, tuxedos football playing, new characters appearing, mysterious banking clients, house buying deals, people breaking into Johnny's house to have sex, and a character dealing with breast cancer. Each poorly written subplot receives little to no exposition, and none of them are ever resolved, by the end of the film. Despite the title, 'The Room' makes little sense as a title, because characters are neither trapped in a room. According to the director, the title refers to a person's happy Place, but it makes no sense, since the movie is more about betrayal, anger & depression. The poor written script is also badly characterized by the film's numerous inexplicable mood and personality shifts in characters. Characters within the film, do things, way too irrational. It's like, they were all stupid. Also, much of the dialogue is highly repetitive. In addition to being rife with bad dialogue, the film has some of the worst acting, I have ever, witness. They are so bad, that they undermine the script's intention. A good example of this is how Johnny comes off, very creepily & obsessive rather than the model husband & friend. Tommy's weird European accent is awkward, and stale. It's really odd, how he laughs at really random stuff, such as domestic abuse. I guess, it kinda makes sense, since Wiseau intended for the film to contain a subplot in which Johnny was revealed to be a vampire. Thank goodness, that subplot was eventually drop, due to budget cuts. Tommy Wiseau was so bad, at remembering his lines that much of his dialogue had to be re-dubbed in postproduction. Sadly, most of it, wasn't even in sync with his lip movements. Juliette Danielle was alright in the film, but her character was made, way too unlikable. For Greg Sestero, he was pretty much, phoning his acting, in. It's funny to hear stories of him, ad lipping, just to make Wiseau angry. Supporting characters are just as bad; such like Denny (Philip Haldiman). His behavior is incredibly creepy and bizarre. Even the director has admitted the character might be mildly retarded. Other characters like Claudette (Carolyn Minnott), Mike (Scott Holmes) & Peter (Kyle Vogt) come across as pointless. Those actors really did suffer, a lot during production. Minnott got heat stroke, while Vogt got a concussion. Really bad luck, but OK acting, but a bit hammy. There are way, too many supporting characters to keep track of. The budget for The Room went really over budget, reaching $6 million, all of which was spent on production and marketing. Wiseau made numerous poor decisions during filming, such as building sets for sequences that could have been filmed on location, purchasing unnecessary equipment, and filming identical scenes multiple times using different sets. They further claims that the film's budget skyrocketed as a result of scenes taking too long to shoot due to Wiseau's inability to properly handle a camera. It must had been a nightmare to produce this film. You can tell, due to really bad editing. A good example is the flower shop scene, which tries to cram in, everything in 30 seconds. Other scenes that didn't work is the rooftop sequences with the bad CGI. Looks so fake. The music didn't help. It incredibly sounds cheesy like R&B softcore porn. The film marketing is also very bizarre. The film was promoted almost exclusively through a single billboard, featuring an image of Wiseau looking like a horror film, serial killer. I wonder, if The Room is unintentional or perhaps intentional portrayal of the awkwardness and social disconnect that Wiseau experiences in his own everyday life? I think he could never fully grasp what qualifies as normal, social behavior, and the movie is his expression of his own frustrations. It would explain, all the homosexual undertones. Anyways, the movie has a film adaptation of the making of this film in the works & a 3D version. Even a Broadway adaptation is tossed around. As of this writing, none of those, have yet been produced. However, a video game of the same name was produced. Overall: The film had many "admirers'" calling it a modern Ed Wood type of a masterpiece, due to sincerely attempt of making a great dramatic picture, and falling miserable. In my eyes, I do somewhat agree. I considers it so bad that "it truly is one of those movies you have to see to believe.

This film has a reputation for being so bad it's good. I personally didn't find much humour in it, just a constant sense of befuddlement. Everything is disconnected and nobody acts like a real human being. This film feels like aliens trying to emulate human behaviour and filmmaking.
