Tommy Wiseau's The Room is an odd masterpiece in that, it is not a masterpiece because it is amazing, but because it is amazingly awful, almost fantastic in its failed attempts to be heartwarming and dramatic.
The "plot" (for lack of a better term) involves our main character Johnny and his girlfriend/"future-wife" Lisa. Lisa cheats on Johnny with her secret lover Mark. After that, it becomes a clusterfuck. You won't be able to figure out what anyone's doing, or understand the inane dialogue, nor will you really want to. What you WILL do is laugh. Wiseau's hammied performance as himse- er, I mean Johnny, is like every stereotype of the over-romantic European come to life. Mark is so bland and boring it's hilarious, and Danny is a creepy bastard. (If you can get that reference, have some Scotchka.)
All in all, a ridiculously funny, melodramatic yack fest that left me craving more. Overall score: 11/10.
