What about the OTHER movie called "Frozen"?

I'm now imagining Jacob Tremblay in the Tommy Wiseau role.

The sucks about The Room and Room mixup. Sad that such a terrible movie and amazing movie share a name and will confuse people.

This all happened because of War of the Worlds. People went to their local rental store, saw War of the Worlds starring C. Thomas Howell and honestly thought it was the Tom Cruise movie that was currently playing at their multiplex. And because of that, The Asylum saw dollar signs.

Believe it or not, The Asylum is trying to ride the coattails of Finding Dory, and this is what a cheap, rushed animated movie looks likes:

When video stores were a thing, I'd sometimes switch Jack Frost, the family movie with Michael Keaton as a creepy snowman with the spirit of a young boy's father, with Jack Frost, the horror movie with a creepier mutant killer snowman who rapes a chick with his carrot nose.

[Show spoiler]She goes on Amazon and orders The Room on DVD not realizing what movie it is and that it came out in 2003. She calls me and says that she and my dad sat down for their movie night and both couldn't believe that this film received all the praise it got.

I asked her what it was and she goes, "It was The Room, it had some long haired French guy," and I couldn't stop laughing for like 20-mins. straight. I'm shocked that they actually sat through the whole thing. So I then ordered her the real Room.

Like Daffy says to Bugs Bunny, "That's despicable".
