What to Know

Critics Consensus

A bona fide classic of midnight cinema, Tommy Wiseau's misguided masterpiece subverts the rules of filmmaking with a boundless enthusiasm that renders such mundanities as acting, screenwriting, and cinematography utterly irrelevant. You will never see a football the same way again.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast It is, in short, the ne plus ultra of crap. A trash masterpiece. Nov 29, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire If there is a 21st-century Edward D. Wood Jr., it is probably Tommy Wiseau. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com Trust me, you've gotta check this thing out at least once, especially if you like football. Rated: F Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola Movie-Blogger.com It takes a special kind of ‘bad’ to gain a cult following, let alone a film that tries a little too hard. And for all its intents and purposes, “The Room” is that movie. Rated: 0.5/5 Aug 24, 2024 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity I bet Wiseau’s first feature could make Ed Wood’s bones dance... The level of genius necessary to emulate authentic incompetence would approach Borgesian heights: there will be no pastiche called “Pierre Menard, Director of ‘The Room." Rated: 3/10 Nov 19, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior...

Josh Suarez Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/22 Full Review Fallopia Tuba Oh, it sucked! It was a terrible movie about horrible people doing awful things to each other! At the same time it was a breathtaking travelogue of San Francisco, so that was something. But otherwise, the movie had no redeeming qualities—but at least I fully expected that. Put it in the "so bad it's good" category I'd probably see it again, if only for the camp value. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/21 Full Review Kay It’s so bad that it’s good Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/21 Full Review Audience Member The best worst movie you'll ever watch, many have tried to make a fake bad movie or parody, but nothing can top this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Toby D The Room (2003), the brainchild of enigmatic auteur Tommy Wiseau, is a masterclass in how not to make a movie, yet it’s so spectacularly bad it’s become a cult classic. This passion project, helmed by a man who seems more mad scientist than director, is a chaotic mess of incoherent storytelling, wooden acting, and baffling creative choices that make it unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.Wiseau stars as Johnny, delivering lines with an otherworldly cadence that defies human speech patterns. His iconic outburst—“I did not hit her, it’s not true! It’s bullshit! I did not hit her! I did not. Oh hi, Mark”—is less acting and more meme-worthy performance art. Every character behaves like an alien impersonating a human: Lisa (Juliette Danielle), Johnny’s fiancée, inexplicably seduces his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero) while claiming she’s “not in love” with Johnny, a bizarrely styled but decent-looking banker. Mark, oblivious to Lisa’s overt advances, seems to operate on a five-second memory loop. Then there’s Denny, the creepy neighbor kid with unsettling vibes, lurking around like he’s in a different movie altogether.The film’s logic is nonexistent. Subplots—like Lisa’s mother casually mentioning breast cancer, never to be addressed again—vanish into the void. Scenes drag with pointless dialogue, rooftop confrontations, and awkward football-tossing interludes. The climactic suicide, preceded by a petulant temper tantrum, feels as nonchalant as it is unearned. Every frame is a study in incompetence, from the green-screen cityscapes to the inexplicably framed sex scenes set to R&B Muzak.Yet, The Room’s sheer earnestness and Wiseau’s unyielding commitment make it a mesmerizing disaster. It’s the kind of film where every choice is so wrong it feels right, earning its reputation as one of the worst movies ever made. Half a star for a performance so catastrophically Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Hex x It's so objectively bad, that it becomes a beautiful masterpiece. Just have fun watching.
