The Disaster Artist is both an endearing and hilarious biopic from the Franco brothers.

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2017)

The Disaster Artist is a biographical film about Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero and the making of one of the worst movies ever made called The Room. This movie stars James and Dave Franco and is also about the friendship that develops between both Wiseau and Sestero.
This is an Ed Wood-esque film about a man aspiring to work in the movie industry who, despite continuously getting knocked down over and over, continued to follow his dreams. In terms of it as a movie, it's similar to that of Ed Wood. Either way, this is a hysterical, endearing look at two underdogs who unintentionally made it big. I was laughing out loud frequently at this film, almost every joke hit, if not, every joke hit. I wasn't the only one frequently laughing either, the entire theater was laughing, even during scenes initially shown in trailers. Aside from the comedy, this offers more than just that. This movie offers a look at Tommy's softer side, which I personally could hardly see out of a guy like Tommy. It was genuinely hard to see him looking saddened and heartbroken during said scenes. James Franco's performance was absolutely fantastic. From the accent, to Tommy's strange acting to his overall performance, he just simply did an incredible job portraying Tommy. I heard that he even directed the entire movie in his Tommy voice, which is incredible, even for him. Near the end, they reenact certain scenes from The Room such as the "I did not hit her!" scene and the flower shop scene, which were very impressive and spot on.
My flaws for this movie are small and few in between. For example, I think that the other actors from The Room like Juliette Danielle could've used a more in-depth look. I remember hearing that she was uncomfortable doing the sex scenes with Tommy and I wish we would've gotten a bit more out of her regarding that. Another flaw that I have is more of a nitpick. It's that James Franco's voice hardly sounds anything like Tommy's. It's not his fault though, again I'm nitpicking more than anything.
I loved this movie, even with its small flaws. The Disaster Artist is anything but a disaster with its intriguing story, great humor and heartbreaking moments about one very strange man's dream of becoming a big name in Hollywood and managed to become big in the end for the wrong reasons.
9/10
