Trivia:
After a very limited theatrical run, the film has become popular as a "midnight movie" with a cult following. Audience members dress up as the characters, throw plastic spoons at the screen, and toss footballs to each other. Wiseau attends many of the screenings and holds Q&A sessions with the audience. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Lisa orders a pizza that is "half Canadian bacon with pineapple, half artichoke with pesto and light on the cheese." The half-eaten pizza seen later is clearly just a plain cheese pizza. moreFAQ

It's an awful movie. (slap) A wonderful movie. (slap) An awful movie. (slap) A wonderful movie. (slap)
I love this film. No, I hate it.
It's a totally brain-dead piece of drek. Then why is the audience laughing the ENTIRE TIME, shouting out instant classic lines like "You're tearing me apart, Lisa... Denny! ... Five! ... SPOON!!!"
I'm about to go see The Room for a third time in the theater, which I have only done when a film had Star Wars or Fargo in the title. Admitedly, nothing in this film works. The lighting. The set. The acting. The plot. The sound design. The editing. The music. Tommy Wiseau's freaky nudity. The comedy. The drama.
But if one of these aspects did work, the movie would be no fun at all. By reaching the nadir of all artistic elements, The Room becomes truly sublime. But don't take my word for it. As a thinly-veiled Tommy Wiseau himself says (typos and all), "I am just a movie goer that was delighted to find something different from the usual trite movies fed to us by the same group of Hollywood, that wants everyone to think and see things only one way...their way"
Makes you wish Mystery Science Theater came back on the air for one night only. Heck, with this piece, they could do it live!
