Johnny can also be a little too trusiting at times which haunts him later on. Lisa, played by Juliette Danielle, is the beautiful blonde fiance of Johnny. She has always gotten her way and will manipulate to get what she wants. She is a taker, with a double personality, and her deadly schemes lead to her own downfall. Mark, played by Greg Sestero, is a young, successful and independent best friend of Johnny. He has a good heart, but gets caught up in Lisa's dangerous web and gives in to temptation.

Wenn man diesen Film in einem Kino voller lachender Zuschauer*innen sieht, bewertet man ihn meiner Meinung nach ruhig mit fünf Sternen und hat dabei ein reines Gewissen. Ich habe ihn alleine gesehen. Deshalb habe ich oft ungläubig den Kopf geschüttelt, als ich all die "Schauspielleistungen“ gesehen habe und als ich gehört habe, was die Figuren sagen. Ich habe mich auch gewundert, wie viele Bettszenen nur in die erste halbe Stunde reinpassen (die Brüste der Hauptheldin habe ich in dieser Zeit so gut kennengelernt, dass ich das Gefühl habe, selbst mir ihr geschlafen zu haben). Ich habe erst beim Finale gelacht. Da wurde mir auch eine seltsame Sache bewusst – The Room hat mich überhaupt nicht gelangweilt.

Dieses Ding entzieht sich jeglichen gewöhnlichen Maßstäben. Es spielt absolut keine Rolle, ob es prozentual oder mit Sternen bewertet wird. Anstatt Müll könnte ich hier einfach ein riesiges WTF schreiben und nichts bewerten. Ob Sie fünf Sterne geben oder Müll!, hängt meiner Meinung nach nur davon ab, ob Ihnen die Helden dieses Films unterhaltsam erscheinen und Sie über sie lachen, oder ob Sie sie aus tiefstem Herzen hassen und töten wollen. (Es ist offensichtlich, dass ich letzteres Gefühl hatte.) Ich habe nichts gegen Benutzer, die mit voller Punktzahl bewerten, denn ich kann mir sehr lebhaft vorstellen, wie sie sich königlich darüber amüsiert haben. Auf jeden Fall ist The Room eine unglaubliche Scheiße, deren Grässlichkeit unaussprechlich ist. Stellen Sie sich alle möglichen denkbaren Fehler vor, die ein Filmemacher in seinem Film machen kann, und sie sind alle hier. Dies sollte an Filmhochschulen als Beispiel dafür gezeigt werden, wie man keinen Film dreht. Tommy Wiseau ist ein Außerirdischer vom Planeten Žumpa, mir fällt keine andere Erklärung ein.

I really don’t like it when people give ironic high ratings to bad films. At all. I don’t care about guilty pleasures, I just don’t like bad films by incompetent creators. I think they are offensive to those creators who at least try. But The Room is something else! If it had been made like this deliberately, I would be a brilliant comedy, but the fact that this is the result of a series of accidents and some kind of bizarre aliens can’t erase the positive emotions that I have from this “film”. No bullshit, I haven’t been so fascinated by a film in a long time, even if it is really bad, and how improbably bad it is sometimes, but still.

Watching this surreal flick puts you in the position of a lab mouse, or a hamster, thrown into an aquarium with a king cobra. You loathe what you are looking at, but you are so hypnotized by the sight of the cobra that you just stare into its eyes in fascination until the snake swallows you. You can't take your eyes off this excrement, it has an undeniable charisma, as absurd as it sounds. It's like throwing a bunch of soap-operas, Red Shoe Diaries, a subtly conceived episode of Emanuelle, and the complete bibliography of Rosamunde Pilcher into a big blender and mixing it with tabloids and gossip magazines, spiced it up with Zdeněk Troška, Ovčáček, Turkish Star Wars and the nightly TV broadcasts of tarot readers on TV Barrandov, drinking this shit bottoms up, or drowning in it. I’ll watch this at least once more with my mates. PS: Thanks to the curators of The Shockproof Film Festival for the great titles!

A treasure. A showcase of bad to terrible filmmaking decisions and insane dialogues, but executed with such sincerity and verve that it actually reflects perfectly why we all love movies so much and why it's so tempting to be a part of them. A phenomenon called Tommy Wiseau, who under normal circumstances would be replenishing bananas in Tesco, a man without the slightest sign of talent or creativity, has created a work that generations of film fans will enjoy for its undisguised idiocy – and I confess to being one of them. Lisa is the greatest bitch, Mark the worst best friend, and Wiseau is the funniest actor in history; and coupled with dialogues that leave you speechless, or the truly unforgettably bad direction of actors who randomly and pointlessly appear and greet each other at every encounter, you just can't help but love The Room at least a little guiltily and sincerely. In terms of experience, at least 4*, in terms of quality, its Boo!, so I’m giving it a conciliatory 2*.
