THIS FILM TORE ME APART...!

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2018)

Probably the closet we have to an Ed Wood for our generation comes in the form of Tommy Wiseau magna-opus The Room. Apatow & company have decided to chronicle the making of this razzie bait from when the lead actors first met through the troubled shoot & the not all that surprising cult status the film has sustained. Equal parts obvious lampoon & a homage made w/love, James Franco directs this Oscar nominated script & plays Tommy w/delightful obtuseness while his brother Dave, plays his partner in crime. Love all the cameos from the Apatow universe but my favorite has to be Sharon Stone who shows up as Dave's one scene & out agent.
