Tommy is a really endearing yet frightening character. There’s a charm to him and his ineptitude, but also a constant frustration. The story of Greg and Tommy’s friendship and trials in creating The Room is more interesting than Tommy probably ever could have managed in creating his own movie. Ultimately, it’s a story of persistence and individuality, a warped sort of American dream with an unidentifiable accent. You can’t help but root for Tommy and Greg alike, everyone has been, at one point or another, both of them.
