My girlfriend wanted to watch this movie................I wanted to watch paint dry.......I still feel like I could have gotten more from the paint. And now I will never know...the emptiness I now have inside is....is....TEARING ME APART!!!   :'(

Rounding up this scored  a 10 from me, it wasn't perfect but it was quite fun with no real lulls (I GREATLY enjoyed their varied ways of covering the sex scenes).

To me this had a great chemistry or team feeling if you will.  As others have said it has that old school MST3K feel (Werewolf maybe?), with a terribly silly movie, strong riffing (the comments about Lisa sitting around the house, and our visitor from Braziliromanislovakia.......stan)

A very fun riff that ranks high on my list, well done all!

Popping my freshly burned RiffTrax of The Room in the DVD player right now....... Be back in an hour and half if I survive.......

Via con dios, Senor Torso.  You seriously might not return.

Wow... just wow! It was a pretty solid trax and man is the movie hilarious on its own.   There are some gems in this flick. I loved the Disembaudio gags. I will have to watch this a couple more times to fully appreciate just how bad a movie it was.

That was crazy. Great RiffTrax but the movie..man the movie. I think to sum up the "feel" of the film, all you need to do is watch the flower scene. Seriously, what in the world? Time for an avatar change. Oh, hi Denny.

Try not to overdo it.  I watched it 5 times, and now my brain is stuck in a loop of trying to rationalize it.

The Wendy/Walter part especially made me laugh. I don't know if they did it on purpose, but electronic composer Wendy Carlos used to be Walter Carlos....  coincidence?!

I'll bet that is what they were referencing.  Although didn't Wendy Carlos start the other way and go from man to woman?

Yeah, Wendy started as Walter and changed to a woman.  He/She also did an album with Weird Al!!!
...and there he was, reigning supreme at number two.  The One... The Only... The Unabeefer.

The best part of this movie/RiffTrax is the fact that my wife's name is Lisa. So many lines to drive my wife nuts with.....

Wow... I'd never thought I'd see a Rifftrax with jokes about cancer, suicide and softcore sex!  And it all worked!  I gave it a 9 and I'd say its in my top ten favorite riffs without question. I loved the Disembaudio bits, I was wondering how they were going to handle the sex scenes when I watched the movie unriffed. The idea of the guys cracking jokes over that just seemed a bit... creepy.

Jerkzilla

That was a letdown.  Yeah, I laughed a few times, but I thought the movie was not nearly as funny with the Rifftrax than without.  On the plus side, thousands of people were just forced to watch the unholy abomination that is The Room! So RIfftrax has that going for them, which is nice.  On the other hand, Disembodio's voice makes children cry tears of infinte sorrow.

I liked it, but I can't say I laughed much more at the movie unriffed than riffed. It's so inherently hilarious that a professional riffing feels superfluous. And, not to pile on, but they should have just riffed straight through the soft-core porn scenes. The Disembodio skits were more irritating than funny (mind you I found the flesh much less disturbing than Wisseau's attitude towards women- could you imagine dating him?)

Amazing! I'm gonna buy a dozen autographed copies from Tommy and give them to everyone I know. :P

I have to go with the best ever! :highfive:
I have never laughed at a Rifftrax so hard before that my wife had to run out of her work room to see if I was having some sort of seizure.

First you have a movie that is made by an eccentric genius so wrapped up in his own Californian reality that he assumes what he has made is immediately understandable, accessible  and important to a mass audience. That and if you continue to say your film is a masterpiece against all the evidence to the contrary, everyone will come around and  believe you, eventually.  Keep on dreaming Tommy, weirder things have happened!

Next we have a Rifftrax that is a superb effort because it's obvious to me that Mike, Kevin and Bill really enjoyed themselves producing this Trax.  They "Shined their Love" on this one.

I will further stick my neck out and say I liked the Disembodio bits as well.  I know a lot of people don't like it when Dis gets out of his job to just sinc up the Trax, but I like it when he comes in with his own material.  It's fun.   I have locked my car doors riding down the Interstate and made my friends suffer through his "Night Train to Mundo Fine" and I sing along!  What do you want?  I'm eeeeevil!!  ;)

I have to say, we turned down the Disembodio sketches and discussed the insanity of the movie instead. I understand why they went that way, but they really didn't work for us.
FINE

Doctor Who?

I gave it a ten.

My favorite parts were the parts with Disembaudio's friends and family.  That was classic.
