Film Review Of Tommy Wiseau's The Room

Improved Essays
The acting in The Room is one of the worst things ever. Tommy Wiseau’s voice is like the vocal equivalent to a serial killer’s ransom note made of magazine clippings.

All of the other actors are reasonable for the film they are in, except for Greg Sestero, who has zero chemistry with his supposed best friend Johnny.
The Room, while being a horrible film, is one of the most enjoyable viewing experience for any audience. Out of the four films reviewed, this film is definitely the funniest, most quotable, and most memorable film. The viewer would like this bad film the most of all four.

To watch the film, it is confusing and boring and just sad, but to talk about the film and try to dissect what happened is quite enjoyable. Troll 2, featured reasonable acting, but the plot and dialogue was all over the place. Any time a character spoke, no other character responded. It is as if the movie is set in a world where everyone says whatever they thought of at the time, resulting in nobody listening or responding to one another. Everyone just speaks, and nothing happens, The characters also make completely dumb choices that make absolutely no sense. The dad character, when he has already figured out Nilbog is goblin spelled backwards, he was attacked by goblins, and his whole family wants to leave, he says it is all a misunderstanding, and sits in the middle of town and reads a book about

    Refried Elvis is a swiftly paced parody that packs a Presley punch. With familiar tunes and modern jokes, it’s fun for the whole family.

No matter how serious or silly the scene, I found the believability to be there.…
