“Okay – quality of the movie [0/10]nEnjoyability of the movie [10/10]u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTotal paradox, right?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the absolute pinnacle of bad story, bad dialogue, bad editing, bad plot.. I mean, Iu0026#39;m saying u0026#39;badu0026#39; like there actually is any of these elements within the film. The editing makes no sense, it seems randomly cut with continuity errors, there are lines like u0026#39;Whatu0026#39;s going on with the candles and the musicu0026#39; when there ARE NO candles or music.. The entire thing is absurd. But what makes it truly unique is that it was done entirely seriously, this is not a tongue in cheek production like low budget bad movies that know they are catering to an audience who expect to laugh at the poor effects and story.. No, this man, Tommy Wuseau, honestly, genuinely thought he was crafting his magnum opus, masterpiece of cinema.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs it good? Absolutely, definitely not.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever – as a movie EXPERIENCE. I watched this with some of my family, warning them it was terrible, but we had one of the funniest, most incredible bonding experiences in cinematic history – As we collectively picked apart every camera angle, wobbly set, insane use of props, costume, music that skips, repeats, continuity, edits, plot and dialogue. There is not one redeeming moment in the entire movie. Even if there is a single well crafted line (there isnu0026#39;t) it would have to be spoken by either a terrible actor or by Tommy himself, whou0026#39;s accent sounds like it was in a European car crash . We all laughed until it HURT, and for that.. I have to give the experience a 10/10. Iu0026#39;ve never enjoyed a movie more with friends and family more than this one.. EVER.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI head that the experience is similar in theatres that still show this film for precisely this reason. Everybody dresses up as their favourite character, recites every line and throws spoons at the screen every time one inexplicably ends up on screen (itu0026#39;s a lot.. is there a reason behind this u0026#39;artisticu0026#39; decision. No. There is no reason for anything)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is more and more to notice about this film every time I watch it.. Most recently, how the architecture of the building makes no sense whatsoever. They appear to be on the ground floor, but exiting from the other side causes them to end up on the roof – at night. Itu0026#39;s things like this that could inspire a PhD in studying the intricate insanity and entirely non sequitur values of every moment in The Room.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDo I recommend it? Well.. how can I not. Everyone needs to see this movie at least once, after a couple of drinks and with friends. Itu0026#39;s even funnier than Weekend at Bernies after taking magic mushrooms.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI almost died laughing from a hypoxic brain injury, unable to catch my breath – narrowly avoiding giggling myself into a coma.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe finest abdominal workout video ever made.”
