Thoroughly amusing

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2018)

I myself haven't seen "the room" but I've seen many scenes from it dozens of times. However, I didn't know much about the production of the room, only that it was bad, so when I heard about this movie I thought it'd be quite interesting.
What this movie does is not only tell the weird and unique story of tommy wiseau but it shows the power of friendship, of not giving up and simply to follow you dream. I had a blast watching this movie, and mostly it wasn't even because I recognized the scenes, but because knowing it had all happened in real life it was an surprisingly amusing story.
Some might expect it to be a mocking of "the room" and its production but instead Franco has made it in a celebratory manner and greatly showcased the friendship of Greg and Tommy despite Tommy being such a unique person. (Spoiler warning ish) They got each other started, they helped each other finish it, and in the end it was Greg who made the feedback towards "the room" not only bearable for Tommy but even enjoyable. It's all through a thoroughly amusing movie and people who are trashing it are not really trying to enjoy it. Some comments say "it's just a movie about a movie" but it really isn't, it's the story of one of the worlds worst productions ever and the friendship that made it happen. If I could rate it 7.5 I would.
