Disaster indeed!

Rating: 2/10 (15 January 2018)

Why should one go back over a complete misfire of a movie, like Wiseau's THE ROOM, or Ed Wood's work? At least the latter, of the late 1990s, featuring Johnny Depp, had awesome performances in Depp and Landau. In this one, much as I might try, I could only be annoyed by Wiseau's accent and repeated stupidity. Dave Franco does well in his part, but it is not exactly memorable, either.
Perhaps I'll be accused of lacking humor, but I could not see anything funny about Wiseau's extravagant behavior and the derision with which it was received by the rest of the crew. This movie within a movie drove me to snoozing about 25' into it, and thank God that I was able to catch on my sleep at least.
In the end, this film pays homage to a complete failure. Perhaps it's symbolic of the way moviemaking is going, bereft of ideas, and increasingly unrealistic productions that teach one absolutely nothing about life and how hard it is to survive just the day to day.
2/10 - mostly for Dave Franco's sympathetic and humane performance.
