THE ROOM (New Cult Classic considered one of the best worst films
ever) The Room is a 2003 independent film written and directed by its
star, Tommy Wiseau, who is also credited on screen as both the movie’s
producer and executive producer. The principal cast includes Wiseau,
Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero, Philip Haldiman, Carolyn Minnott, and
Robyn Paris. The Room tells the melodramatic story of a love triangle
between a man, his future wife, and his best friend. Without any
studio support, Wiseau spent over $7 million on production and
marketing for the film. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and
insists that its humor is actually intentional, although cast members
have publicly disputed these claims[1] and many audience members
generally view the film as a poorly-made drama.[2][3] The Room has
been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made,[4][5]
and has been called “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”[6][7] After a
brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following
and continues to have midnight screenings around the United States and
the United Kingdom.The Room is the story of a love triangle between a
kind-hearted man named Johnny (Wiseau), his fiancée Lisa (Danielle),
and his best friend Mark (Sestero). At the beginning of the film, Lisa
has become dissatisfied with Johnny, confiding to her best friend
Michelle (Paris) and her mother Claudette (Minnott) that she finds him
boring. Lisa seduces Mark, and they begin an affair that continues
throughout the film, even as Mark more than once tries to break it
off. Lisa stays with Johnny because he is a successful banker who has
promised to buy her a house. As the wedding date approaches and
Johnny’s clout at his bank slips, Lisa gets closer to leaving Johnny
for Mark. The film has several subplots involving secondary
characters. A neighboring college student named Denny (Haldiman) —
whom Johnny supports and loves like a son — has a mysterious run-in
with a drug dealer and struggles with his attraction to Lisa;
Claudette, Lisa’s mother, deals with real estate problems, failed
relationships, and breast cancer (although she nonchalantly announces
she has this condition near the beginning of the film, it’s never
mentioned again); Michelle’s boyfriend Mike (Mike Holmes) is shamed by
Lisa and Claudette walking in on him with Michelle in Johnny and
Lisa’s living room. All of these subplots are introduced and quickly
forgotten. When Lisa throws Johnny a surprise birthday party, she
flaunts her affair in front of Johnny, and Johnny and Mark get into
not one but two altercations. Johnny has also attached a tape recorder
to the telephone, recording an intimate call between his fiancée and
Mark. Claiming that he doesn’t have a friend in the world, Johnny
locks himself in his bathroom until everyone has left. When he comes
out, he destroys his apartment, finds the handgun he took from Denny’s
drug dealer Chris-R, and commits suicide with a gunshot to the head.
Lisa and Mark discover Johnny’s corpse soon afterwards, and Denny is
not far behind. Mark blames Johnny’s death on Lisa. Denny blames
Johnny’s death on Lisa and Mark, urging them to leave him alone with
the corpse so he can say farewell, but as the film closes, Lisa and
Mark remain with Denny as police sirens grow louder.
