I DID NAHT HIT HER, IT'S NAHT TRUE! IT'S BOWLSCHIT, I DID NAHT HIT HER! I DID NAAAHT— Oh hai, troper. Let's describe The Room here, huh?The Room is a 2003 "romantic drama" film by unlikely amateur filmmaker Tommy Wiseau. It is ostensibly about a man, Johnny, played by Wiseau, tortured by the betrayal of his "future wife" Lisa (Juliette Danielle) and his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero), who are having an affair.It was made on a budget of $6 millionnote For reference, that's equal to the budget of Shaun of the Dead, yet the only major locales where most of the movie takes place are the eponymous room, a different room and a rooftop, punctuated with Stock Footage establishing shots of San Francisco to spice things up, a car, a park, two alleyways, a café and a 19-second scene in a flower shop. A lion's share of the budget went into the production itself, as Wiseau decided to shoot the film in both 35mm film and digital side-by-side. He also purchased the cameras, instead of renting them as film productions usually do.note No digital HD footage made it in the final cut.The film was theatrically released only in Los Angeles for Oscar Bait purposes and was advertised by a single vague billboard, consisting entirely of Wiseau's face staring down at visitors◊ in the area. The billboard remained in place for years before being covered over, long after the film was out of theaters, and residents wondered what the heck "The Room" was — which helped contribute to its cult status as word of mouth spread about how downright bizarre it is.The Room continues to be screened in L.A. and other cities, becoming a cult phenomenon of sorts. Showings include interactive affairs à la The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which are often accompanied with guests throwing plastic spoons at the film (which has a recurring spoon motif), blurting the film's dialogue back at the characters, tossing footballs (themes of touch football are explored in the film) and dressing up as their favorite character.It was exposed to a national audience for the first time by [adult swim] on April Fools' Day 2009. Wiseau was also the focus of a Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! episode which aired immediately after the 2009 showing, causing Adult Swim fans to refer to it as The Tim and Eric Movie. A RiffTrax commentary for the film was released the same year, and RedLetterMedia followed with its own commentary track. The Nostalgia Critic and Obscurus Lupa also reviewed it in 2010, and were immediately forced by Wiseau Films to take the reviews down due to alleged copyright infringement.note However, after both reviewers argued that their videos were covered by the "parody and criticism" precedent of fair use doctrine, the reviews were reinstated soon after. There is also a Flash game tribute to the film here, and Kickstarter funded a May 2015 live show as well.Two books have been written about the film. In 2013, Greg Sestero, in cooperation with Tom Bissell, wrote The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made, a book detailing not only the making of the film but also his long and troubled friendship with Wiseau. Said book has been adapted into a film, The Disaster Artist, directed by and starring James Franco as Wiseau, with his younger brother Dave Franco as Sestero. Philip Haldiman, who played Denny, wrote a comic book called My Big Break, the first part of which covers his audition.In 2018, Robyn Paris, who played a minor character in the film, launched a comedy webseries called The Room Actors: Where Are They Now, featuring fellow former actors of the film (including the aforementioned Haldiman) and following their (fictional) lives 15 years later. Needless to say, the experience has marked them deeply − and hilariously.Not to be confused with Room by Emma Donoghuenote Though the budget for The Film of the Book was coincidentally also $6 million, The Room by Harold Pinter (which isn't quite as awkward), The Room, a Hubert Selby Jr. novel, The Room, a college film by Doug Walker, The Room, a 2012 mobile puzzle game, and definitely not with Silent Hill 4: The Room. Also not to be confused with The Room (2019).In 2023, /Film announced that a remake of the movie was in post-production, produced by the charity organization Acting for a Cause and starring Bob Odenkirk as Johnny, Bella Heathcote as Lisa, and Brando Crawford as Mark. Crawford also directed the film, which was shot over the course of a single day with the intent of providing sets through Chroma Key. According to Odenkirk, the intent of the remake is to present the original film's story and dialogue with utter seriousness on-par with Oscar-winning movies... while keeping the dialogue as-is. After missing its planned release date of June 2023 (which would've coincided with the 20th anniversary of the original film), a new date has yet to be disclosed. Proceeds from the film will be donated to the HIV research organization amfAR.

Anger Montage: Quite possibly one of the wimpiest, most half-hearted Anger Montages in the history of film, right at the end, culminating with Johnny tossing a television set through his window. In many ways, the scene mirrors similar scenes from Citizen Kane and Pink Floyd — The Wall.

Genre Shift
 The Room (2003) / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The film seems to go through an unintentional one, contributing to its general weirdness. There are so many gratuitous sex scenes in the first half (set to cheesy synthesized pop music, natch) that the film could easily be mistaken for softcore porn; even the whole infidelity plot initially just comes off as an excuse to make Lisa have sex with two different men. But around the 45-minute mark, the sex starts to fade away, while the story just gets more ridiculously complex, becoming a straight romantic melodrama.

Aborted Arc: The film is mostly made of B-plots that go nowhere: Denny's drug problem and his debt to Chris-R, Claudette's breast cancer and mortgage, Peter and Mark's feud, etc. According to Sestero, Carolyn Minnott (Claudette's actress) did ask Wiseau several times whether the breast cancer would come up again, only to be told that "it's a twist", and eventually just went along with it.

Spiritual Successor: Wiseau's pilot for his sitcom The Neighbors. Both are set in an apartment complex, but while The Room focused on one group of tenants, The Neighbors focuses on several. Both also involve an obsession with sports (footballs for one, basketballs for another) and Wiseau's character has a catchphrase ("Oh, hai X" and "What a day!" respectively). The Neighbors also features someone watching The Room on TV.

Probably unintentionally. When Claudette discovers Mike and Michelle, who are introduced as they inexplicably come into the apartment to make out and eat chocolate, she asks, "What are these characters doing here?" The audience is probably wondering the exact same thing.

Hollywood Law: Chris-R is never actually arrested, yet Johnny and Mark "take him to jail" in about four minutes. Johnny apparently gets to keep Chris-R's gun after he gets carted off to jail, eventually using it to commit suicide. Nobody ever considers that it's an important piece of evidence that the police might want to take a look at.note They're actually different models of guns: The original script had Johnny own a piece himself unrelated to Chris-R's gun, but it was changed to tie the stories together more.

Hammerspace
 The Room (2003) / int_356b1efb
comment
Hammerspace: Continuity problems often cause characters to suddenly gain and lose objects between cuts. Denny loses his apple after walking up the stairs to jump on Johnny's and Lisa's bed. Lisa suddenly produces a vase for Johnny's flowers. After overhearing Lisa tell her mother about her affair, Johnny walks immediately over to his phone and sets down a tape recorder he wasn't carrying so he can hook it up to the phone. After cajoling Johnny into drinking with her, Lisa reenters the room from the entrance, carrying two glasses and a bottle of vodka. In the original script, a scene opens with Lisa talking to Claudette on the phone and ends with her walking Claudette to the door, meaning Lisa pulled her mother out of Hammerspace.

Character Development
 The Room (2003) / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Mostly averted. The only characters who change during the film are Denny, who comes to terms with his feelings for Lisa via a "heartfelt" conversation with Johnny, and Lisa herself, who becomes increasingly unpleasant as time goes on, eventually flaunting her affair and making up a pregnancy to needle Johnny. Mark shaves his beard at one point, and the same amount of attention is paid to this as many an Important Haircut... but it doesn't mean anything. AT ALL. An argument could be made that Johnny and Mark finally break free of Lisa, except neither seems natural.

Flat Character: Due to a lack of characterization and an abundance of bad writing, very few, if any, characters have any effective personality traits or Character Development that make them well-rounded characters. Sestero personally described Mark as a character "without a head or tail".

Captain Obvious: Characters have a tendency to randomly blurt out things that are blatantly obvious. For instance, Chris-R is flatly described as a dangerous man with a gun immediately after a scene that clearly displayed this without need for extra dialogue. It's like Wiseau misheard Show, Don't Tell as "Show, then tell."

Broken Aesop: Wiseau claims the message of the film is "If a lot of people love each other, the world would be a better place to live". It doesn't work out given his character Johnny says the line in the context of Denny confessing his love for Lisa, Johnny's fiancee. Not helping that Lisa's affair with Mark is what drives Johnny to kill himself.

Female Gaze: It's definitely there to look at, that's for sure. According to The Disaster Artist, this was the reason behind the gratuitous close-up of Wiseau's bare ass. He was inspired by a film where Brad Pitt did it, and claimed "we have to show my ass or the movie won't sell". The reception can be painfully, painfully subjective.

 The Room (2003) / int_4655ec83
comment
Important Haircut: Some attention is given to Mark shaving his beard off partway through, although it's not at all clear what, if anything, this is supposed to signify.note If The Disaster Artist is anything to go by, Tommy apparently had it in his head that wearing a tux also meant that one had to be clean-shaven. Given that, after that point, he appears to accept his affair with Lisa, after complete and utter confusion each time she lures him into sex, it could be argued that Mark's shave was a variation on Bald of Evil, since he's more of an asshole without the beard.

 The Room (2003) / int_4856ac40
comment
Stock Footage: They used clips of the first sex scene in the second. Allegedly, Juliette Danielle (the actress playing Lisa) refused to let Wiseau near her to film another one. The truth is that Wiseau loved the footage of himself having sex so much that he wrote a second sex scene into the script so he could use the footage as much as possible. Indeed, the only concession he gave to his editor in the entire editing process was to reduce the length of the first sex scene, which he originally intended to run, via repeated footage, for six minutes straight.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 The Room (2003) / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Probably unintentionally. When Claudette discovers Mike and Michelle, who are introduced as they inexplicably come into the apartment to make out and eat chocolate, she asks, "What are these characters doing here?" The audience is probably wondering the exact same thing. This exchange: Peter's final scene before vanishing entirely is the tuxedo football game in the alley. When he falls over, he makes a disgusted face into the camera and says, "That's it, I'm done." Steven, who replaces Peter, is an unexpected character at the birthday party, and becomes outraged at the other characters, as if he were an audience member who had enough and walked into the film The Purple Rose of Cairo-style to chew them out. In a more literal example, when Johnny knocks over a picture frame in the final scenes, it falls toward the screen and lands on the camera.

Downer Ending: Johnny discovers Lisa's affair, ransacks his own apartment, and kills himself. The film ends with Lisa, Mark, and Denny variously screaming at each other and crying. Additionally, we can assume that both Denny and Lisa are likely doomed, because Johnny was paying their bills. Really, the only bright spot in the ending is that Lisa gets her comeuppance and, according to Wiseau later on, Claudette overcomes her cancer.

24-Hour Party People: Johnny and Lisa have a Limited Social Circle consisting of the small rotating group of Mark, Claudette, Denny, Michelle, Mike and Peter (who isn't at the party). At Johnny's birthday party, this circle has almost doubled, populated by an additional five people (four extras and Steven) we've never seen before. Later party scenes even include guests who weren't there when the party started, as several of the extras walked off in disgust during the shoot. Johnny describes them as "all his friends."

Author Appeal: Wiseau enjoys Skinemax-style love scenes set to cheesy slow jams, as there are several. Johnny's hissy fits through the film channel three of Wiseau's biggest cinematic idols — Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Orson Welles. His famous "You are tearing me APART!" exclamation is a reference to Dean's identical line in Rebel Without a Cause, of all things, and his final anguished tantrum and destruction of his house is a direct reference to the similar (but rather better) scene in Welles' Citizen Kane. When asked in the DVD director's interview why there are so many scenes of characters playing catch with a football, Wiseau simply responds that football is fun. Wiseau is a proud San Francisco resident and sees it as the ideal American city. Hence the numerous and drawn out establishing shots of the city and its landmarks throughout the film.

Most Writers Are Adults: Inverted. Denny is apparently 16 to 18 years old, but he acts and dresses like a (very weird) kid most of the time. It's worth noting that his actor, Philip Haldiman, was 26 at the time of filming, making him the third-oldest cast member, although he didn't look it.

Wimp Fight: Mark and Johnny's "fight" during the latter's birthday party is this, with schoolyard shoving and intertwining of bodies, and Johnny's invokedbad chicken imitations undermine what (very) little drama there is left.

The Unfair Sex
 The Room (2003) / int_6ae4dedd
comment
The Unfair Sex: As written, it's a complete inversion. The narrative is supposed to be that Johnny is a faithful, wonderful, giving partner and Lisa doesn't appreciate him at all and starts cheating on him for no other reason than that she's bored. Mark is a hapless victim of this beautiful conniving seductress. The casting and performances undermine the script's intentions.

Viewers Are Goldfish: Thank you, Mr. Wiseau, for helpfully showing us the film is taking place in San Francisco every five minutes — and oddly, each successive shot gets longer and longer. This has led to an Audience Participation bit where every time an Establishing Shot is shown, the audience shouts, "Meanwhile, in San Francisco..." We are reminded the following every five minutes or so: Johnny is a wonderful person, Mark is Johnny's best friend, and Lisa is beautiful. Every conversation Lisa has with her mother (there are about five of them) always starts with her dramatically insisting that she doesn't love Johnny, and Lisa's mom insisting that Johnny is a fantastic man and that she should get married with him.

comment
Heroic Build: The film manages simultaneously to invert and avert this trope. The two most muscular people in the film, Mark and Chris-R, are by and large the antagonists whereas the (so-called) protagonist, Johnny, doesn't really embody this example, either (especially when we see him mostly naked).

Character Shilling: We are constantly told Lisa is beautiful, multiple times. One character's role is simply to say that Lisa "looks hot tonight". Johnny gets this, in spades. Everyone (except Chris-R) seems to praise him, to the point that very few scenes go by without him being praised.

Remember the New Guy?
 The Room (2003) / int_77b03c0a
comment
Remember the New Guy?: With about 20 minutes left, a new character, Steven (whose name is mentioned only in the credits), suddenly appears and becomes deeply involved in the plot. Presumably, we're not supposed to notice that he suddenly appeared from nowhere without an introduction. Word of God is that Steven is supposed to be a replacement for the psychologist character Peter (whose actor left the production), but the audience is given no hint of this; indeed, Steven looks nothing like Peter. In Sestero's book, he wonders why Peter's lines in the party scene weren't given to an already-established character, like Mike or Denny.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 The Room (2003) / int_786bf97f
comment
Peter finds out about Mark and Lisa's affair, but the only scene that Peter appears in after that is another pointless football scene, so nothing ever comes of it. This is partly an instance of Real Life Writes the Plot, though, since Peter's actor, Kyle Vogt, had to leave production before his scenes were finished, hence the sudden introduction of Steven at the party.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The Room (2003) / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Many plot threads are left dangling or are forgotten immediately after they're introduced: Claudette casually mentions her cancer to a dismissive Lisa early in the film, but it is never mentioned again and Claudette becomes preoccupied with other, more trivial matters. The drug subplot vanishes immediately after the scene ends, seemingly serving only to introduce the gun, although see Voodoo Shark as to why even this is suspect. The four main male characters all dress up in tuxedos to take wedding photos (presumably, it's never made clear why they're all in tuxes), but promptly abandon that notion to play a game of catch in the street. Peter finds out about Mark and Lisa's affair, but the only scene that Peter appears in after that is another pointless football scene, so nothing ever comes of it. This is partly an instance of Real Life Writes the Plot, though, since Peter's actor, Kyle Vogt, had to leave production before his scenes were finished, hence the sudden introduction of Steven at the party.

 The Room (2003) / int_870bbf64
comment
Show, Don't Tell: Because of Wiseau's... filmmaking inclinations, this film is a major violator of this rule. We are told, repeatedly, that Johnny is "a nice guy", but we find him laughing at a domestic abuse story at one point in the film. Anything we need to know about a character is told to us point blank, usually awkwardly.

comment
Sharp-Dressed Man: Johnny, Mark, Denny, and Peter in the scene where they're all wearing tuxedos. They're doing a wedding rehearsal, but... no one mentioned anything about a wedding! Johnny's regular suit is probably supposed to come off like this, and also makes sense since he's supposed to be a banker. However, it's so ill-fitting and disheveled (which is also an apt description of the man wearing it), that he instead looks like a guy you would avoid sitting next to on the bus.

What the Hell Is That Accent?
 The Room (2003) / int_8829dfa0
comment
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Johnny, very memorably so. Wiseau uses his own accent, which defies identification. He claims to be from New Orleans and to have spent his early life in France, but it's nothing like either one.note A Redditor argued plausibly that Wiseau is from Poland; the revelations from the 2016 docufilm Room Full of Spoons and the fallout from a subsequent failed lawsuit by Wiseau collectively confirm his Polish origins, the existence of New Orleans-based relatives, and his youth in France — so his accent could be summed up as a Polish/French/Cajun creole with a touch of SoCal.

 The Room (2003) / int_8bd16732

The Law of Conservation of Detail: Averted. In the alley scene, Mike gives Johnny a detailed description of when Claudette and Lisa walked in on him and Michelle having sex. Despite the fact that the audience already saw the scene play out earlier in the movie, and Mike's retelling added no new information (though it did provide some goofy mugging and the infamous "me underwears" line). It's another example of Wiseau's bizarre "show, then tell" method of storytelling.

As You Know: Claudette reminds Lisa that she has known Johnny for over five years. An inversion; when Mike and Johnny meet up in the alleyway, Mike tells Johnny about when Lisa and Claudette walked in on him and Michelle having sex... only it's the audience who already knows this, not Johnny. Johnny and Mark are best friends; we're told this around five times. In this case, it's rather inverted, as it's unlikely anyone would deduce this merely by watching, considering what a hilariously bad friend Mark actually is.

Dramatic Irony

comment
Dramatic Irony: Johnny kindly (and very suddenly) sets aside his anger over Lisa's false accusation of domestic violencenote Though, in another example of irony, he does shove her when they later confront. to lend a sympathetic ear to Mark as he talks about his girl problems. Johnny doesn't have a clue that the girl Mark mentions he's seeing is Lisa.

Soundtrack Dissonance: [Creepy music] Lisa: Do you want me to order a pizza? One long establishing shot of the Bay Bridge sounds like it goes with an Agatha Christie mystery. After Johnny's dramatic suicide, the credits start rolling to an incredibly cheesy R&B softcore song ("You Are My Rose") that played during the second sex scene.

Establishing Shot: This is almost San Francisco Eiffel Tower Effect: The Movie, with shots of the Golden Gate Bridge (both day and night), a cable car, multiple showings of the Palace of Fine Arts and the Alamo Square Painted Ladies houses (i.e. the Full House houses), Grace Cathedral, shots of the Transamerica Pyramid in the skyline, and a scene filmed in Golden Gate Park. It seems that Wiseau really wanted us to fall in love with the location as well as the film itself. Making things painful is that the establishing shots — of the same skyline, mind you — get longer and longer til the final one takes about a minute.

Shout-Out
 The Room (2003) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Johnny's "Why, Lisa?!" tantrum and destruction of his house is a direct reference to the similar (but rather better) scene in Citizen Kane. The shot of Johnny tossing a TV out his window during his tantrum, and the subsequent shot of it hitting the ground, mirror Pink's tantrum in Pink Floyd — The Wall. Wiseau's use of the sentence "You are tearing me APART!" is a reference to Rebel Without a Cause, of all things. Some people believe that the "I feel like I'm sitting on an atomic bomb" line is a shout-out to the famous sequence in Dr. Strangelove. According to The Disaster Artist, Mark was named for the lead actor from The Talented Mr. Ripley: "Mark Damon".

Cassandra Truth: A rather bizarre version. After Mark tells Johnny a story about a woman he knew who was viciously beaten by a boyfriend who found out she was cheating, Johnny chuckles and says "what a story", as if he thinks Mark is lying. When Michelle and Steven confront Lisa at the party over what's going on, Steven warns Lisa, "I don't think Mark really loves you." She blows him off. After Johnny commits suicide, Mark tells Lisa he indeed does not love her.

Thank you, Mr. Wiseau, for helpfully showing us the film is taking place in San Francisco every five minutes — and oddly, each successive shot gets longer and longer.

Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation: Lisa is in "the computer business", which could mean anything. Of course, the only thing we see Lisa do is lounge around Johnny's apartment, so it's bordering on Informed Ability. All we learn about Mark's job is that he's making some good money (see above). The first time Lisa calls him, he says he's busy, though whether that has anything to do with his job is ambiguous, especially as when he says this, he's sitting in a parked car, in casual dress. For all we know, he's waiting for his pot dealer. Sestero has said that - in his mind, at least - Mark might be an undercover cop, which could tenuously explain why he keeps his weed hidden inside a brick on the apartment roof and his line "It's clear", which Sestero thought sounded like cop lingo.

One-Steve Limit: Mark and Denny's never-seen girlfriends are named Betty and Elizabeth, respectively. Betty is a nickname for Elizabeth. And so is Lisa.

Comedic Underwear Exposure: After being caught having sex in Johnny and Lisa's apartment, Mike and Michelle flee. But Mike realizes he forgot his underwear. Under the guise of having forgotten his book, he grabs the underwear from behind Claudette. Well, Claudette, she saw it sticking out of his pocket, she pulls it out, and she's showing everybody his underwear.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 The Room (2003) / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The actor playing Peter the psychiatrist had to leave production for another gig, and his scenes weren't done by the deadline (Wiseau had prioritized the "football in tuxes" scene over the scenes at the birthday party), so Wiseau went and cast a new actor to play Peter, then changed the name of the character to Steven, then ditched the suit-and-glasses look for the character, so that Steven became a random friend who shows up for the remaining 19 minutes with no introduction and delivers an impassioned, if hammy, performance, as though he's already deeply invested in what's going on. It probably would have made more sense to give those lines to an already-established character, such as Mike.

Never Trust a Title
 The Room (2003) / int_fb7bc4a8
comment
Never Trust a Title: The Room. Despite the title, the characters are neither trapped in a room nor is there anything particularly strange about their apartment. According to Wiseau,invoked the title refers to a person's Happy Place, which only makes sense for about three seconds. According to Sestero, The Room was originally conceived as a one-set stage play, but the title never changed when Wiseau pivoted to the screen.

Department of Redundancy Department: As part of the Ask a Stupid Question... and Captain Obvious examples above, characters sometimes make statements that are utterly redundant. When Lisa asks if Johnny got a promotion, Johnny glumly responds "Nah", only for Lisa to ask the same basic question again inexplicably.

Brick Joke: If this were a comedy, Tommy hearing Lisa saying "Don't worry, everything will be all right" in his head before he commits suicide by shooting himself in the head would be a perfect example of this.note This is why RedLetterMedia believes the film was really made by James Franco as an Andy Kaufman-esque Stealth Parody.
