I have always been fascinated with films that develop a cult following - for whatever reason. In the case of "The Room," this movie is SOOOOO bad that it becomes great! (There are a lot of really bad, poorly crafted movies out there, but very few can transcend into greatness). First I watched the film out of curiosity based on all I had heard and read about it. Then I watched the James Franco film "The Disaster Artist." Then I read the book "The Disaster Artist" that the excellent and hilarious Franco film was based on - the making of the original "The Room." (I purchased all three of these items from Ebay), Watching "The Room" is not just watching a movie - it is an actual EXPERIENCE. Tommy Wiseau - it's producer (it supposedly cost $6 million to produce, but after you watch it, you have to wonder what on earth he spent all that money on - it certainly wasn't on sets and wardrobe!), writer, director and star is in a class by himself, a true original with lots of money, a dream, no talent whatsoever, no knowledge about what goes into making a movie, but a lot of guts and determination. If you like quirky, off-beat horrible films that attempt to be serious, but turn out to be hilariously funny, you've got to see "The Room." I also highly recommend both the film and the book "The Disaster Artist."Read full review

This isn't just a good "bad" film, but one of the greatest films ever made. As suspenseful as Vertigo, as mysterious as Citizen Cane, and the love story is to die for. Tommy Wiseau has not made one of the greatest films of just the 21st century, but of any century. You'll laugh, cry, and laugh again. You are truly missing out on one of the most wondrous films you've not yet seen. Put it on repeat and let your eyes bask in the glory of this revelation. Why, why, why have you not bought this yet, Lisa?
