    Some art is good precisely because of a fundamental clash between intention and result. Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” earnestly tries to be a drama, fails spectacularly, and thus becomes an excellent comedy and a fascinating exploration of Wiseau’s psyche. A tragic and undeserved 0/10 by your framework.

    Wiseau’s later work tries and fails to replicate his debut’s cult success with intention. It’s all much worse than The Room, but 5/10 in your framework.
