The classic shitty movie, 'The Room' has taken on something of a cult status (at least among meme aficionados and people who enjoy terrible movies and/or digging their eyes out with spoons).
It's basically a tragedy, the only problem is that it's stupid, poorly acting, poorly scripted, uh. Basically just poorly everything. The main character, played by Tommy Wiseau (who also basically made the thing) has a fucked up sort of Austrian/German/Hungarian/meth-head type accent, as well as a severe aversion to emoting and a way of moving his mouth when he talks that makes it look like the film's been dubbed badly. But nope, just shit. The best kind of shit, though, because this really was a delight.
All the character development and motivations make no sense, but you can just about get the general jist of the plot. It's very simplistic, which helps, and most scenes are re-hashed three or four times, so it doesn't really matter that you're laughing over most of it. There are two long sex scenes right away, and at first I thought that the whole thing would be like 50% sex, but there are some excruciatingly long shots of Goldengate too, so that's OK then.
There are so many hilarious little scenes that I could bleat about but I'm tired, so I'll wrap it up here. If you like gloriously bad movies give this a watch, otherwise stay away. It has nothing else to recommend it.
Sorry, wait, hang on: you know how much this garbage cost? 6 MILLION USD!!!! What?! What did they do, tape all the money together and make that crappy green screen out of it?
Oh yeah, and what room is this about anyway? I mean, much of the movie takes place in rooms, I guess...?
