The Disaster Artist (James Franco, Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, Alison Brie)

[NobodyReally]

This was awesome! As a long time fan of The Room, I appreciate the tone and balance of humor with seriousness that was conveyed. Both James Franco and his brother Dave are really good as Tommy and Greg. I loved the pacing, and the choices that they made for which moments from the book to highlight. I think though, even if you have not read the book or seen The Room (which you should!), you will appreciate this bizarre little tale of these two guys’ struggle of trying to break into the film industry. As funny and weird as Tommy’s story is, at the heart, their struggle, desire, and disappointment with trying to break into the film industry is all too common in Hollywood. The only difference is that Tommy Wiseau had the means to make his own movie and cast his friend. I still would like to know where this man got all this money from, but I guess until he fesses up or someone exposes him, no one will know. There was applause at the end of our showing and we left the theatre smiling. Make sure you stay for the ending credits, where you can see how clips of The Room match up to James and company’s reenactment.

9/10 for me.

just came back from this. fukking fantastic. Franco killed it.

Loved at the end when they did the side by side.

 

[Big Dick]

I thought it was good, not great, beginning was a little slow. Wish more of the movie took place on set of the film they were making but syill enjoyed it, James Franco nailed it as Tommy.

 

[RajWatts]

classic

 

[TheGodling]

It's really fun. Nothing really in-depth, which I guess is a given since nobody knows jack shyt about Tommy Wiseau but as a story about a complete enigma of a person making a movie despite a lack of any semblance of talent it works.

 

[Brandeezy]

shyt makes me want to talk like Tommy even though Franco was over doing it on his accent

 

[StraxStrax]

The on set stuff is fantastic, the stuff off set is terrible and Dave Franco make-up always looked he was in a TV show in a TV show

 

[GiantGonzalez]

I'm from na leans, you knoaw the bag easy


For real tho they actually know tommy from Poland and he was born in the 50s don't know where he got all that money tho

 

[DosCadenaz]

Yeah it's definitely not amazing but they did a great job with it. Basically Franco was fantastic and the movie has a heart to it. I can say I definitely was feeling it during the premier scene. Liked the happy ending though. A-

 

[Jax]

Do I need to peep the original before watching this?

 

[Brolic Scholar]

Dope movie. Funny af in an awkward way. Definitely recommend it.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

the second and third act of this film are great but the framing device and franco are a bit of distraction

it felt at times like a spoof

but seth and dave franco kept it believable

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Watching this now but I feel like I should see the room before I watch it

 

[Rayzah]

I didn’t get it, wasn’t the least bit funny to me. Maybe I had to see the original trash ass movie to get the references. I can’t recommend this to anyone that hasn’t seen the room.

3 thumbs down.

 

[The G.O.D II]

I never saw the movie and thought it was good. It’s not some insider shyt. Plus the clips of the room have been around for years. Almost everyone is familiar with the i didn’t hit her scene
