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.

It is, in short, the ne plus ultra of crap. A trash masterpiece. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

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." Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 06/08/2023
An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior... Go to Full Review

Josh Suarez 01/23/2022 Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! See more Fallopia Tuba 09/11/2021 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. See more Kay 07/26/2021 It’s so bad that it’s good See more Jeffery J. @Jeffery420 15h Don’t complain that I’m giving this five stars. I know this movie is absolutely terrible movie wise they should get one star cause it doesn’t let you just give it zero stars but this movie is so bad that I laughed at it so hard and I just die and if it makes me laugh this hard it can’t be that bad of a movie well it is that bad of a movie. It’s terrible but I like it, though if you’re just trying to watch something stupid that you can laugh at yeah watch this if you’re looking to watch, absolute masterpiece stay away from this movie as far as you can. See more Josue P @RT26164816 4d My review to this movie an average rate, because it's about bit more to the drama side type of movie. Im not really into drama, but this movie was a bit interesting. Its plot was a bit somewhat, because it started with Johnny being a successful banker and all of a sudden, his wife cheated on him and soon enough his life came apart. But overall, it wasn't for me. See more Dustin Ornelas D @10dustinO 6d There is just so many things wrong with this movie. To put it shortly, the story is bad, the camera angles are not ideal for certain scenes, and perhaps the worst is the acting. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen. The delivery of lines are just terrible. See more Read all reviews
