It teaches against alcoholism and adultery, showing the destructive nature of liberal values. However, ''The Room'' has been critically panned for its acting, screenplay, dialogue, production values, score, direction, cinematography, and handful of unrelated and unresolved subplots. Regardless of its low domestic gross from its initial theatrical run, it has done much better in recent re-screenings, becoming a cult classic of sorts. | | |This independent drama takes place in one room and explores the love triangle among an amiable banker, his deceptive fiancée, and his conflicted best friend.

| | + | |The movie has a condemnation against totalitarian dictatorships and Hollywood values in the form of Prince Charming, who after recruiting various villains into aiding him in taking over Far Far Away, he had the kingdom become dystopic and forced the kingdom to watch a "play" he made as a subtle method of executing Shrek. In addition, it's also pro-family, as Shrek sought out Arthur, Fiona's cousin, to take the throne after her father died of an ailment and gives some heart-felt advice regarding taking up the responsibility, and Shrek ultimately resolves to be a father to his to-be-born kids after learning that Fiona was pregnant despite having misgivings regarding being a father due to his own experiences with his father (who nearly attempted to eat him). It also has condemnation of notions of revenge and has a redemption theme, as many of the villains ultimately gave up on being villains after Arthur convinced them not to be consumed by desires for revenge and seek their original goals. Despite this, however, the film had some very questionable production methods, and the plotline was fairly weak. |
