Reviews
Maybe not quite the movie of the year I had been led to believe, but hey, it's better than the movie it's about the making of. As much of a chore as it is, I would recommend watching _The Room first_, not as a necessity, just for a better perspective.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
