The Room tells the tale of Johnny, played by writer/director Tommy Wiseau. Johnny is the nicest guy you've ever met, as depicted in the movie. Everyone loves him, and he can do no wrong.

So why in the blue hell is Lisa, his 'future wife', cheating on him with his best friend? Furthermore why should you care about a stale plot such as this?

I'll tell you why: The Room is simply put a movie that will change your life. A masterpiece in bad cinema that will forever have a place on your top shelf, as well as a spot in your heart. It combines the worst acting this side of a high budget (rumored but never confirmed $4 million), the worst script, the worst set locations, the worst score, and the most uninspired camera shots...and makes one of the best movies you'll ever see.
Right out of the gates we get a tender love making scene, complete with Juliette Danielle's ta ta's. Did you like it? Awesome, you get to see the same scene at least two more times. Couple this with some mellow, yet lame, 90's like R&B tunes and you've got the most outrageous sex scene committed to film. Johnny even breaks out the rose petals, it's that great! The topper is the next morning, we get a sweet shot of Tommy ass as he gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom. He then proceeds to ask Lisa if she enjoyed last night, coupled with his creepy nervous laugh you'll grow to love during the movie.

I swear that the dialog in the movie could easily have all been phone conversations, so much so that 80% of them end with a silly 'Bye bye!'.
Early on you also meet Lisa's mother and if you, like me, really dig The Dark Crystal you'll love the mother character. The woman sounds and is physically animated like a fucking Skekses! It's one of the amazing and unnerving things about this wonderful piece of (thankfully) American cinema. Lisa quickly gets on the horn and calls up Johnny's best friend Mark (Greg Sestero) and gets him to come over only to seduce the clueless lug. I swear, she pours him wine, pulls out the 'It's hot in here..do you mind?' as she undresses, stroking his arms, and he still comes back with 'What's going on here?'...even after she tells him she likes him 'very much' and rams her tongue down his throat.

They continue their affair with another song by a dime store Salt 'N Peppa, with amazing sexual moaning...without the sex! Fantastic! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
This is pretty much the bulk of the movie. Johnny is as clueless as Mark about the affair as they have wonderful rooftop conversations about how Lisa is the ultimate woman, blah, blah.

With monthly midnight screenings in Hollywood, complete with audience interactions and sometimes Q&A's by Tommy Wiseau, I only wish I could get a screening together here in Dallas. I'd also love to shake Tommy's hand, and not totally in jest either. It seems this guy (or Kaufman like character) is a total nice guy, and is happy that people are just having fun with this flick.

I'm sure by now you're asking yourself: "JOE! How can I obtain a copy of this fine film?" Well, first off, if you can't decide based on my review hit up youtube.com and run a search for 'tommy wiseau the room' and check out the trailers, as well as select scenes and clips from screenings. Then, if it's a perfect fit for you, hit up amazon.com and buy it!
I actually toyed with the notion of reviewing this movie scene by scene over a period of a year. There's THAT much I couldn't touch on in just one piece. This movie has so many terrible layers that you have to see to believe.

While from a realistic approach this movie is absolutely abysmal. However as pure entertainment goes, you can't miss with The Room. I'm basing my overall star rating on entertainment. This is without a doubt the best worst movie of all time. It will have you roaring with laughter until the last frame is rolled.
