Hilarious Look at the Making of the Best Bad Movie of Hollywood History

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2017)

James Franco absolutely crushes it as Tommy Wiseau. He captures every single oddball idiosyncrasy the man has to offer, and Franco encapsulates it all perfectly. From the first second we are introduced to him, it is clear that Franco isn't just doing a Tommy Wiseau impression; he has completely become him. That was one of my fears going into the film, that we would simply be watching Franco play Wiseau. But instead, all I saw on screen was Tommy Wiseau. He gives the film so much of its comedy, as well as its emotional core- - and it all stems from Franco's performance. That is absolutely an accomplishment on Franco's part, and he is deserving of an Oscar nomination for it in my eyes. Dave Franco is really good in the movie, though he didn't lose himself in the character of Greg Sestero quite like his brother did with Tommy. I could mostly see Dave Franco in the role, but that doesn't take away from him being as solid of a lead as he is. One of my favorite characters, second only to Tommy, is Seth Rogen as The Room script supervisor, Sandy Schklair. He captures the despondency of the role perfectly, and it makes for some great comedic moments. He's the most relatable character in the film, I find, simply because what he says and does is exactly how I would react to what was happening during the shoot...
