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.

It is, in short, the ne plus ultra of crap. A trash masterpiece. Go to Full Review

If there is a 21st-century Edward D. Wood Jr., it is probably Tommy Wiseau. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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." Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Jun 8, 2023
An earnest yuppie take on Arthur Milleresque soul searching, as conceived by a space alien with very little grasp on ordinary human behavior... Go to Full Review

Max Wilke May 29, 2026 A lot of bad writing and acting, but definitely worth watching for comedy See more Josh Suarez Jan 23, 2022 Watched it with a live Q&A with Greg Sestero. Awesome time! See more Fallopia Tuba Sep 11, 2021 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. See more Kay Jul 26, 2021 It’s so bad that it’s good See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 3 days ago The Room is an absolutely awful film. I mean, truly awful. This is easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched, and I still don’t understand why anyone would want to revisit it, remake it, or try to expand on what was already a complete mess. The screenplay is so bad and ridiculous that it’s almost impossible to take the story seriously. There is barely a story to justify, and so much of what happens feels completely disconnected and absurd. Even the attempts by Dave Franco and James Franco to revisit the material only made the whole thing feel even more unnecessary to me. I honestly feel like I wasted my time searching for this movie and sitting through the entire thing. I always try to find something positive in what I watch, but this one gave me almost nothing to work with. Ultimately, The Room is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. It’s a complete disaster from the screenplay to the execution, and I absolutely cannot recommend it. See more James A @ablett001 Jul 31, 2026 Quite simply put, the worst film ever made. It's not even 'so bad it's good', it's just terrible. See more Read all reviews
