    Billed as a 'dark comedy', one gets the distinct impression that the laughs are purely unintentional. The true value of this 'film' is that it gets worse as it goes along, which actually makes it better. Ed Wood would be so proud!

    One of the best worst movies ever. I can hardly believe I've seen what I've seen.

    Hands down, THE WORST movie I have ever seen. Watched this with a group of drunk friends while drinkin Jungle Joose and have to say that I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time.

    So many great quotes.

    "You're tearing me apart!"

    "Why would I do that to her?! I didn't hit he...( read more)r! ...Oh hello Mark."

    "I'm fed up with zis world"

    "Don't touch me...mother fucker."

    And so much more.

    Every SINGLE actor SUCKS ASS. Every SINGLE scene SUCKS ASS. Every single piece of this movie blows ass, up until the climactic conclusion where Johnny wrecks his apartment (and dramatically knocks the fake fruit out of his fruit bowl...WHAT THUNDER!). I have never laughed harder at any actor's misfortune before in my life. Even the fat bitch playing the lead actress had me rolling at her fat rolls and pig-like tits.

    WOW was this movie GOD AWFUL. I could write a 42 page essay on how TERRIBLE it was and not even begin to describe its shear ineptitude. A flixster review cannot do it justice. You must track down the $8.49 DVD copy and watch it. NOW.

    I've seen this both in theaters and at home on video and I promise everyone that it's the worst film of the decade. The lighting is off, characters are given problem then immediately forget about them (not little things, topics such as drug addiction , cancer, and death).

    Enter...( read more)ing the film with the right attitude, it's the Troll 2 of it's time. The acting is so over the top that it harkens back to Deborah Reed in Troll 2 or the silent era. The live setting for the film already has it's own Rocky Horror shout-along audience while at home I missed some of the most inane script I've heard in my life. This would normally just make a bad movie bad, but then there's director, producer, writer and star Tommy Wiseau who sounds, looks, and acts like he's from another planet.

    This is a classic in the so good it's bad genre. Most mind-boggling movie ever.

    Sometimes a "so bad it's good" film has to be seen through beer goggles, with giggly mates. Otherwise its just a bad film. The Room is not like that. I watched it alone and (relatively) sober... well, it was Friday night... and the giggles mixed with did-I-really-just-see-that? m...( read more)oments swept me along for 99 minutes of pure enjoyment. The dialog really is that bad, even if you were brought up on 70's TV. There are three sets a) in the garage cunningly disguised as a posh flat b) outside the garage, c) on the roof. There is love-making with roses and pillowfights, oh and rain I think. There is an awful lot of lets-talk moments, usually cut off by LIsa (I don't want to talk about it). There are entrances from most of the cast popping into most of the scenes someway or another (including a who-on-earth-are-you-New-Cast-Member? entry half way through). There is a football. There are random plot threads (I'm going to die) which bear no relation to, well anything really. There is character motivation which swerves back and forth like a car on a skid pan. There is a whole list of other badnesses that would make this review as long as the film. But underpinning it all, and therein lies the genius, is the sincerity of Tommy Wiseau who made his film the way he saw it. There is not a single moment of irony in the whole piece. And so something that should have been painful and irritating, blossoms into one of those moments of cinematic magic we're all secretly searching for and that sometimes are found in the strangest places

    This is one of the best worst movies I have ever seen. It is absolutely terrible yet entertaining at the same time. It is actually better than Plan 9 From Outer Space... really! Cherish the deleted scenes, the short behind the scenes docu and the magnificent interview with the di...( read more)rector.

    It is a beautifully tragic tale of a nice guy, Johnny, caught inbetween a heartless "bitch" and his "mother fucker" of a best friend. Nice guys never win and that's the resounding message in this film.

    My favourite quote:

    Johnny: "I did not hit her, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not hit her! I did naaaht. Oh hi Mark."
