The ensemble film revolves around five people: Johnny (Wiseau), who perhaps puts too much faith in his fiancee, Lisa (Juliette Danielle), a scheming woman who isn’t afraid to cross any line put in front of her; Johnny’s closest friend, Mark (Greg Sestero), who may be drawn too close to Lisa’s flame; Lisa’s mother, Claudette (Carolyn Minnott), who wants the best for her daughter (so she can get the best for herself); and Denny (Philip Haldiman), a sweet orphan who is just learning about how life and love work. THE ROOM has a devoted cult following, especially in Los Angeles, where it became a midnight-movie hit complete with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW audience interaction. [More]

It's hard to describe how bad the acting in The Room is.

Tommy Wiseau's film oozes sincerity, which is then slathered in a thick coating of oblivious narcissism, and sadly serves as an example that not everyone should follow their bliss.

Given audience reaction at screening attended, pic may be something of a first: A movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back -- before even 30 minutes have passed.

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE gave me nowhere near as many belly laughs. Tommy Wiseau is a bit like Shatner or Schwarzenegger before they became self-aware.
