Dislaimer: Contains spoilers!
Plot Summary: Random events in the life of a guy named Johnny as his life (unintentionally) comedically spirals out of control.
Review: What can be said about "The Room" that hasn't been said before? It is arguably the worst movie ever, but it could possibly be one of the funniest movies ever! It definitely falls into that category of so bad it's good; if you're into that kind of thing you'll love this. However, it is a total mess with only the faintest hints at proper film making. I mean, seriously, every aspect of film making is a failure somehow. The characters are ridiculous and the plot is virtually nonexistent. Most of the problems can probably be attributed to the writer/director/producer/main star: Tommy Wiseau who plays Johnny. I often wonder if he's an alien, screwing with everyone around him, or just utterly insane. Every scene plays out like it's own mini script and is usually self-contained rather than contributing to the overall plot. It really is hard to make sense of all this, but it is all presented with terrible acting and laughable delivery to boot. If you look closely you can even see the actors smirking on occassion before the camera cuts away. Honestly, no words can do justice in explaining how idiotically funny this film is! All I can say is this movie must be watched to be truly understood. Now go find it on youtube for free!
Notable Moment: There are many but my favorite is when Johnny goes into the flowershop. I can't even imagine how they filmed that scene and thought nothing was wrong. I find myself watching that scene over and over again still laughing. There's also a rooftop rant that is a contender.
Final Rating: 2/10 (10/10 if going for comedic gold)
