The Dumb Genius

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2018)

The Room is considered to be the "Best worst movie ever" and was created by a man no one knew, Tommy Wiseau. James Franco plays as this unkown character in the best way he could. He made him sympathetic and sometimes very broken. Dave Franco plays as Greg Sestero, Tommy's best friend and working colleague. And he as well gives a great performance with a lot of emotion. But why would James Franco direct, produce and act in a movie about a movie that is so bad that people like it ? Well it's weird but I think that this movie gives a lot of inspiration. This movie is somewhat an underdog story, a nobody that has a dream and he somewhat succeeds it. This movie honestly made me want to make a movie, it shows that if you put a lot of work into something, it will in time come true. But thankfully, this movie does not rely on you knowing what "The Room" is. You can go into this movie blind and still really enjoy it. It's not exactly about the making of "The Room" even though it is, but it's about the people making "The Room", and they executed it extremely well.
