Really ambitious for a softcore porno. The Room is auteur filmmaking at it's most befuddling. I'm pretty sure Tommy Wiseau had some sort of message about life and love that he wanted to give us. Maybe even one that was deep and insightful. It's impossible to tell though as the movie is incomprehensible. It runs on a loop of the characters having the same conversations over and over again with the occasional nonsensical moment or long, drawn out sex scene thrown in to break up the monotony. The dialog the cast was given is atrocious and they seem to be playing people who are only capable of making the dumbest possible decisions at any given moment. The acting isn't as bad as you would expect. With the exception of Sestero and Wiseau himself I actually thought there were some decent performances for a movie of this caliber. Sestero seems uninterested in really trying as a result of being fully aware of just how bad the project was going to turn out. Wiseau on the other hand is just a block of wood. Even his fits of rage seem devoid of energy. The direction and writing are just all around terrible. But rather than creating something that's painful to watch, Wiseau's ineptness both behind and in front of the camera inadvertently led to The Room becoming strangely lovable instead. It's still an awful movie, but at the same time it's hard to not be entranced by the unnatural interactions between everybody onscreen as it's all just too funny. As uncomfortable as the sex scenes are to watch I couldn't help but laugh. They have the corniest love songs playing overtop of them and Wiseau apparently doesn't know where the vagina is located. I couldn't tell is he was putting it between her breasts or just had some sort of weird bellybutton penetration fetish. The whole thing is a great source of unintentional hilarity. I'm not sure that's cause enough to recommend it though.
