The Room

The Room

2003

FLICKS.CO.NZ & INCREDIBLY STRANGE present... monthly screenings in Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington. Click here for more info...

"Crowned by Entertainment Weekly as the 'Citizen Kane of Bad Movies', The Room has been slaying audiences now for seven years throughout the US and UK, with rabid fans called Roomies screaming out lines and throwing props at the screen.

"The film is a $US7 million vanity project created by a cheerful narcissist named Tommy Wiseau, who’s like a muscle-bound, European version of Gene Simmons. No matter what you’ve already heard, nothing can prepare you for the once-in-a-lifetime big-screen experience of seeing actor/director/producer Wiseau mumbling his way through this excruciating love triangle about a kind-hearted banker, his best friend and his cheating bride-to-be. It has many unforgettable scenes, but keep your eyes peeled for pictures of spoons, close football tossing, characters vanishing and emerging and even one that announces 'I definitely have breast cancer' as a throwaway conversation starter. Unmissable." (New Zealand International Film Festival 2010)

  • This generation's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE!

    MINUS FIVE GOLD STARS - this is unintentional comedy genius from the mind of writer, producer, director, star Tommy Wiseau - a man who makes Narcissus look modest. Honestly? The most fun at the cinema since FrankNFurter and co. enticed audiences to do The Time Warp. Try this for size:

    Lisa: I've lost him but I still have you, right? Right?

    Mark: You don't have me. You'll never have me. You killed him.

    Lisa: Mark, we're free to be together. I love you. I love you!

    Mark: Tramp! You killed him. You're the cause of all of this. I don't love you. Get out of my life, you b*tch!

    And that's the GOOD dialogue!

    And then there's:

    Claudette: "I got the results of the test back - I definitely have breast cancer."

    If you thought John Travolta's BATTLEFIELD EARTH was funny - you ain't seen nothin' yet!

    This really is so bad it's brilliant... Everything about it is just so incredibly, unintentionally, side-splittingly hilariously BAD!

    Did I mention how ass-clenchingly BAD it is?

    haha...watching this for the 1st time, I didn't know what to expect. people with neckties around their forehead and plastic spoons in both hands, everywhere. it was a very fun and "different" experience! most people seemed prepared for every scene 2 seconds before it came on: "Meanwhile in San Francisco!!" "Oh Hi Mark""You're tearing me apart!" embarrassing at first, but joined in the shouting after 10 minutes

    Agree? Disagree?...

    This is interactive participation cinema for a new generation. Get your friends together for a few pre-screening scotch-ka shots, and find out why this hilariously terrible film has gained a cult following.
    Oh and bring plastic spoons!

    If the thought of deliberately watching an incredibly 'crap' film scares you, be not afraid. I too was a skeptic, then I experienced 'THE ROOM' for myself, and by god Tommy Wiseau has crafted the most magnificently unintentionally hilarious film ever. From shoddy acting to lines that include "Keep your stupid comments in your pocket", this is a film that will keep your sides in stitches. The great thing is the audience really makes this film more than just another night at the movies, with plastic spoons and soft balls thrown around, I can guarantee you this is an experience not to be missed.

    Agree? Disagree?...

Press Reviews

  • Variety (USA)

    Unlikely as it may seem, an independently-made, self-distributed movie has rolled into town, sans film festival pedigree or advance buzz, but armed with an ad campaign that includes billboards along Sunset Boulevard, television spots and a glossy, commemorative book on the movie's making. "The Room" marks the writing-directing-acting debut of Tommy Wiseau, who's not just one of the most unusual looking and sounding (with an unidentifiable Eastern European accent) leading men ever to grace the screen, but a narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" seem the apotheosis of cinematic self-restraint.
