A Hilarious Train Wreck Of A Film

The Room is a film famous for being hilariously awful and after watching it, I can say that it's reputation is very much deserved.

In what other film can you see men playing football in tuxedos, breast cancer being brought up in casual conversation, and college students asking to join two other people in sex? The film has such a poor understanding of how regular human beings act that the characters come off as space aliens trying desperately to pass themselves off as humans. Combine that with the terrible acting and you have a truly surreal experience.

"The film has such a poor understanding of how regular human beings act that the characters come off as space aliens trying desperately to pass themselves off as humans." I love that. Hadn't even thought of it that way. I imagine they don't even act this way in Tommy Wiseau's native country, whatever it is.

However, I don't think all the acting is terrible. Tommy's certainly is, but I thought Claudette's acting was pretty good, along with the drug dealer and some other characters. It's just that they were given terrible lines to say, and seeing a mixture of good acting with bad dialog, and bad acting with bad dialog, is a riot.

I'm up for joining Discord servers! PM me if you know any good ones!
