Rotten Tomatoes Hires ‘The Room’ as Its New Official Rating System, Website Crashing Under ‘So Bad It’s Good’ Overwhelm
In the most chaotic plot twist of 2025, Rotten Tomatoes has reportedly replaced its entire 0-100% scoring scale with a single question: “Is this movie better or worse than ‘The Room’?” The move, intended to “streamline film criticism for the ADHD era,” has backfired spectacularly as users flood the platform to retroactively rate every Zach Snyder flick as “unintentional comedy gold” and demand a spin-off where Tommy Wiseau reviews Marvel movies. Critics are baffled, but the internet is celebrating: Finally, a metric that acknowledges Jaws: The Revenge is technically a masterpiece compared to anything with a production budget under $30. The only consistency? Everything is now “fresh” if it makes you laugh harder than the infamous “You are tearing me apart, Lisa!” scene.
