I believe that Tough Guys Don't Dance is intentionally the way that it is. The Room, despite what Tommy Wiseau wants you to believe, is the product of ineptitude. Both films are incredibly entertaining and would make a great double-feature. Which one do you find more entertaining?
I'll take Tough Guys Don't Dance over The Room....
shareTough Guys Don't Dance is heads above The Room in every single aspect, including unintentional comedy, ridiculousness and pure entertainment value. The only thing The Room beats it on is horrible acting, though there are a few shining moments in Tough Guys Don't Dance which still make it pretty awesome!
shareI think TGDD was an attempt to make a mystery-film noir type of film. However Mailer failed on every level.
