2/10
A must see for fans of unintentional comedy

Warning: Spoilers
The Room - already a cult classic with midnight showings in L.A. this movie is a so bad it is good classic.A terrible melodrama about a conniving fiancé that seduces her beau's best friend.Written,directed,produced and starring Tommy Wiseau as an overly sensitive and generous cuckold boyfriend this movie features repitive and terrible dialogue- tons of stock footage of San Francisco exteriors and a truly frumpy female lead.A simple love triangle is mangled with some extra story lines- the patronage of Denny the lovestruck and drug addled teen and the basically dismissed breast cancer angle of the nagging mother character.Every bit of dialogue is repeated several times.During the 4 love scenes we get terrible R&B ballads that feature repetitive lyrics.I watched this with friends and with the sub-titles on- it was a lot of fun.But the movie itself is terrible.The DVD has an interview with the creative force behind the movie,deleted scenes and a behind the scenes feauturette.Truly a unique experience.
