James Franco is James Franco

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2019)

James Franco production of real life friendship between two men who meet in an acting class.
One of the men is a bit older and starts out by acting the Stella bit from Streetcar. I'd never heard of the movie the two made called, The Room, but it's a cult picture and may have cost 5 million to make!
I liked the older man, Tommy Wiseau, who seems to have an endless supply of money to keep the festivities going. James plays his lifelong and much younger friend, Greg Sestero, both of them have big dreams but Hollywood doesn't want them.
Tommy decides to produce and star in the film with Greg and on it goes, where at the premiere of The Room things get surprising.
I thought The Disaster Artist was honestly portrayed and liked it for what it was. It's nice to have these two men succeed at their dreams, even for a little while, although it's not what they expected.
James Franco is James Franco and does quite a fine job with his brother Dave as Tommy and as director of the film.
I've heard that The Disaster Artist is considered to be Franco's best film so far.
7.0 out of 10
Good film about dreams fulfilled in the toughest town on earth.
