A honest telling of a ridiculous story!

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2017)

The Room is considered by people to be the worst film ever made, I would probably put myself in that boat as well. Only for the reason that it tries so hard to be good that it fails at the basic elements of everything. Anyway when I heard that James Franco was gonna be doing a film about the making of "The Room" I was a little nervous because it could turn into a bit of a spoof. Luckily it is not a spoof, it is very good and really eye opening film into the life and world of Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero.
Lets quickly ish get the compliments for the directing and the acting in the film over and done with, there are big elements to compliment and fry. Overall the directing of the film is good start to finish, but nothing amazing it is a solid film. The acting on the other hand is perfect, everyone in the film has been cast perfectly in there roles. From Dave Franco, Allison Brie and Seth Rogen to the surprise inclusions of Judd Apatow and Bryan Cranston are brilliant and hilariously funny. However obviously there is an elephant in "The Room".......haha get it see what i did......*cough*.....dust ball*............anyway, James Franco as Tommy Wiseau. One hundred percent deserves an Oscar nomination the resemblance to the real life person is incredible and actually quite worrying. The look, voice and physical movement are all so on point and add so much to the believability of the performance. Amazing!
Its the actual story or backstory being told about Tommy and Greg's lives as well as the production of the film that is the heart of the film and the most interesting part. There was so much about Tommy and Greg that I didn't not know and it was extremely interesting to see there backgrounds and where they were when they met in 1998.
It shines a light for me on the type of person, on the surface at least, what Tommy Wiseau was actually like at the time. Unfortunately it definitely does not do anything to improve his image in some ways it tells the honest truth about the man and that actually he is a delusional, idiot. He is a monster on the film set, being horrible to everyone there as if he knows best, and disregards everyones opinions as invalid. Even though it is shown that he didn't know what a DP on a film set was ! Its because he knew nothing about film making to begin with, which especially shows when he fires the only professional help he had on the production. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there and the monster he is continues with destroying a possible chance for Greg and his career. I assume considering that this film is based on the book written by Greg Sestero that the scene and side story about Malcom in the middle is true. It justifies why Wiseau is an arsehole by making Greg feel bad for even asking him about taking the day off.
Im so happy that they didn't shy away from telling this side of the story because it makes Wiseau look bad, this is honest film making. On the outside I never knew that he was this type of person, but you never know I suppose.
Overall this film is really good 80% out of 100 or 8 out of 10, the directing and acting in the film is really strong for everyone but obviously the star is Franco. However its the story of the people and the production that give this film heart and momentum throughout. It is extremely eye opening, funny and brilliant people should definitely watch it. It now puts "The Room" itself in a new light !
