Not to brag or anything, but I sat through the worst movie of all time. Tommy Wiseau wrote, directed, and starred in the movie "THE ROOM". Tommy Wiseau originally compared this movie to the works of Tennessee Williams (and spelt his name wrong on a poster). Once people started criticizing this movie and asked for their money back, Tommy declared this movie to be "dark humour".
There are screenings of this movie in California at the end of each month. And, Tommy Wiseau is there, of course. People are open to throw food at the screen, throw footballs around, and yell whatever they want - as long as it does not hurt anyone. This movie started out as a book, which Tommy could not get published, because it is, well, shit. This also happened with a playwright. This movie cost Tommy about 6 million dollars; many people walked out, and it was only in theaters for about two weeks. Thus, this left Tommy to receive two thousand back.
Not only does this movie have: horrible acting,
a sad excuse for a script,
the constant use of the phrase "oh hi ____", as well as the aforementioned chicken noises; it is also the easiest way to make friends. In fact, the only reason people have wanted to hang out with me this march break was so they could watch it. ...:(
It's pretty much the worst movie of all time. And I'm madly in love with it, and I really can't comprehend why people would walk out of this film. Really, this man was so serious about the writing and everything. The actors and script supervisor had to make many changes to the script because it made absolutely no sense.
To sum up this shitastical movie, Tommy Wiseau plays Johnny, who is with a woman named Lisa. After many awkward and unexplainable events, we learn that Lisa is cheating on Johnny with his best friend, Mark. Johnny finds this out at his surprise birthday party and then results in killing himself - this the funniest part of the movie. I'd usually feel bad about ruining about the end of a movie, but really, this has just ruined itself. So ANYWAYS, in one of the final scenes, where Johnny has locked himself in the washroom from Lisa after finding out she cheated, she tells him to come out, he yells to her "In a minute, bitch." This was of course, supposed to be serious. However, all the actors on set had to try to hold in their laughter. After, Tommy Wiseau came out and asked what was so funny. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but all I'm really trying to say is, this... this movie... must be watched. It's a beautiful cult classic that will make you die of laughter just because it's supposed to be so serious.
Oh hi movie poster!
note: as surprising as this is, my brother helped me with most of the information. This is one of the very few thing he knows a lot about, so I'm forced to give him credit. Thanks for letting this beautiful movie into my life.
OH HI MATTHEW!
...and if this crappy review didn't win you over, you get to see Tommy Wiseau's ass in the movie!
