An experience, not just a movie.

from New York, NY
I was lucky to already be familiar with "The Room" and all its obvious flaws and equally obvious entertainment value (Tommy Wiseau, if nothing else, is unforgettably weird and funny). This was my first time seeing it in a "midnight movie" setting at a theater in downtown Manhattan, and the audience was just so LOUD. So much cheering, chanting and howling and who knows what other noises (and so much plastic-spoon throwing that at least ten of them landed on me, so at least I got to throw a few too) that most of the dialogue is completely lost. At least this crowd shushed everybody just before an actor said a particularly memorable line such as "Anyway how is your sex life?" I find such an experience refreshing compared to the tired old tradition known as the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Still, if you were seeing this among such a crowd for the very first time, you may have trouble understanding why this became such a phenomenon. I found the experience disturbing at times, but ultimately fun and strangely educational. I'd recommend it to a friend, but only with the proper warnings.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
