“The Room” aspires to be a dark comedy. It was written, directed and produced by Tommy Wiseau, 41, who also stars as a stringy-haired banker named Johnny. The story, set in San Francisco, centers on a love triangle involving Johnny, his best friend, Mark, and Johnny’s fiancee, Lisa, who has sexual liaisons with both men.
You don’t have to be Roger Ebert to spot the flaws — it’s 99 minutes of blunders and idiosyncrasies. Editing errors abound. Characters are inadequately introduced. Subplots, such as the revelation that Lisa’s mother has cancer, fade into the ether.
