The Rio’s press release describes The Room as “a melodramatic story of a love triangle that leaves its audience members in hysterics. You have to see it to believe it. An unintentional black comedy about love and passion, betrayal and lies. It depicts the depths of friendship and relationships in one’s life and raises life’s real and most asked question: ‘Can you ever really trust anyone?… Are you ready to see reflections of your life?’ A successful banker, Johnny, is madly in love with his fiancé, Lisa, and plans to be married next month. His plans take a horrid turn when he finds the truth about Lisa and the people surrounding him.”
