Release Year: 2003 Director: Tommy Wiseau Review: The cult phenomenon by writer/director/actor Tommy Wiseau, that is billed as the ultimate 'so bad it's good' movie. And it certainly lives up to the bad part. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the film in one of the increasingly popular midnight screenings, but I think I got the effect of the pure awfulness. The magic is that it appears Wiseau thinks he is making an important film, completely ignorant to the abomination that the movie is. There is not a single redeeming quality to the film as an actual movie going experience, but there is some fun to be had at its expense. The awkward moments, clunky dialog and uncomfortable acting, all work to give you that special viewing experience of having a film so bad that you can laugh at it and have a good time. Rating: 1/5

I like the way the characters announce their names and relationships in almost every line of dialogue. "Mark, you are my best friend." "Yes, Johnny, we are very close. Isn't that right, Lisa?"
You are right, however. The movie is a piece of garbage.
