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!

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.

I believe that when you see this film in a full cinema of giggling people, for example, you will give it five stars without the slightest bit of remorse. I saw it by myself, so I often shook my head in disbelief at all the acting "performances", at what the characters spewed out of their mouths, and also at how many bed scenes can be crammed into the first half hour (I knew the breasts of the main character so intimately during that time that I feel like I also slept with her). I only laughed during the finale, during which I also realized a strange thing - the Room didn't bore me at all.

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*.

Isto está completamente fora de qualquer parâmetro normal. Absolutamente não importa a percentagem ou a classificação por estrelas, em vez de Boo! eu poderia escrever um enorme WTF e não o classificar. Dar-lhe cinco estrelas ou Boo! é, na minha opinião, baseado unicamente no facto de achar os personagens deste filme divertidos e rir-se deles, ou de os odiar com toda a sua alma e querer matá-los. (Obviamente, no meu caso, o segundo sentimento prevaleceu.) Não tenho certamente nada contra os utilizadores que o classificam com o número completo, porque posso imaginar completamente como eles se divertiam com o filme. Em qualquer caso, porém, The Room é um pedaço de merda incrível cujo estado horrível é indescritível. Se tentar imaginar todos os erros imagináveis que um cineasta poderia cometer no seu filme, aqui estão todos eles. Isto deveria ser mostrado nas escolas de cinema como um exemplo de como não fazer um filme. Tommy Wiseau é um extraterrestre do planeta Lixeiras, não consigo pensar noutra explicação.

"I used to know a girl who had a dozen guys. One of them found out about it, beat her up and she ended up in a hospital." "Hahahahahahahahahaha. What a story!" Shockproof Film Festival – NOW!

Never have I had such a great time watching a film that I booed. So why this rating? Simply because the film is bad in every respect. It makes any South American soap opera look like a professional masterpiece worthy of the critics’ award. But it was the terrible performances both in front of and behind the camera that made me almost split my sides. All the sex scenes, all those characters appearing and disappearing (Denny was killing it), Johnny's laughter, all the dialogue (especially the scene in the flower shop), and the character of Mark's best friend created a geyser of hilarious fun. It’s a “Boo!” from me but "Wake up, Johnny!"

Given that this is a cult film that many viewers can't get enough of, I guess I expected it to be even more of a hit. I have to admit, though, that Tommy Wiseau's acting is just so bad and so unique that at times you'll just stare at what he spits out. He's being serious, isn't he? It doesn't matter; this is something that can easily deter you. And probably excite you. For me, my enthusiasm is more restrained.

The film is so bad it's actually brilliant. An exquisite gem that goes beyond the bizarre. Lousy quality in all respects and a complete lack of logic. I would be lying if I said I hadn't had fun watching this, though. You shouldn’t worry too much about why the characters start playing catch all of a sudden or why they change opinions literally in mid-sentence because nothing at all makes sense here. Absolutely random shots of the San Francisco skyline accompanied by (all sarcasm aside) a perfect central musical theme, with acting (uhm) performances from another planet. The script is terrible, but whenever Tommy Wiseau is on screen, prepare to be (if unintentionally) amused. A well-deserved cult status. "Oh, hi, Mark."
