So I saw this yesterday (it’s on at the Prince Charles Cinema for the next few days, along with more screenings of The Room, with Tommy Wiseau in attendance if you want to meet him): it’s been 20 years since The Room and seeing this, I’m thinking he has a fiendish master plan in place: how could someone take so long to make a film, only to end up with something so sh*tty it (kind of) makes The Room seem like Citizen Kane?
I don’t know where to start on this, whether it’s a cast of actors that are even worse than Tommy Wiseau, the worst CGI seen in a film since movies started using it, sound levels that dip between barely audible and deafeningly loud, editing that clips off the end of sentences, plotting where the shark appears, kills off people, disappears then characters go and have drinks and play beer pong, or the musical numbers (good Lord, Cowboys Don’t Cry deserves an Oscar nomination but it gets sung so many times it’s now locked in my brain): I could continue but that’s just a taster of this plethora of pap, I urge connoisseurs of crap to investigate if it’s playing near you.
Part of me thinks I’m going to burn in hell for telling Tommy that yes, I thought it was a good film when I went out to get some merch (it’s the kind of film you can walk out of a few times and not worry about what you’re missing) as he seems a good guy but this was off the scale diabolically bad (but still more enjoyable than a lot of major studios stuff)
