What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? The acting is terrible, the script is awful, half of the scenes are pointless, and to top it all off the man who made it still seems to believe it deserved an Oscar.
But there is a strange charm to the movie. If you read Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero (Mark aka "Johnny's best friend") You get to both hear the madness he and others involved in the movie, but also just how much Tommy Wiseau cared about his albeit terrible, movie. I'm not deffending the insanity he put onto the cast and crew of The Room. But after reading the book you see that contrary to popular belief, Tommy is a human like you and me. He wanted to make his dream a reality and my god he made it real. His dream may have been some warped idea of reality, but still he made it happen.
I think the best acting in the film is that of Chris-R. He was honestly pissed about everything, making his role as a pissed of drug dealer seem real. He is in the movie for less than 5 minutes, yet is the best part. Also Lisa's mother is basically what a viewer of the film feels like. Constantly questioning everything, eh minus the whole taking breast cancer lightly part.
So in conclusion, bravo Tommy Wiseau. You created one hell of a movie. Its not great for the reasons you intended, but it still is a great movie.
So bad its good
