I saw a poster for a late night screening of this at the nova in melbourne. The poster features Tommy Wiseaus face looking mysterious in black and white with a lazy eye. I thought it might be some cool lynchy film but instead it's actually a really bad days of our lives drama complete with soft focus sex scenes that go on way too long.
Tommy Wiseau wrote, directed, starred and paid for this film (It cost him $6 million of his own money) that's actually quite a lot of money for a massive piece of shit considering that such gems as American Movie, Cube, Primer, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Clerks were made for less than a mill.
Johnny is engaged to Lisa who is having second thoughts and beings an affair with Johnny's friend. It's high melodrama and low everything else - acting, continuity, sets, lighting, soundtrack, direction, plot, greenscreen effects - all terrible just where the hell did that 6 million go? on Tommy's hair?
YES - bad but strangely mesmerising
You can buy a badge of Tommy's face, he's featured in the philosoface directors series of badges alongside such luminaries as Sergio Leone, Jim Jarmuch and Spike Lee.
