James Franco surprisingly does a good job...

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2018)

Just got out of The Disaster Artist. I had no plans of watching it as I detest James Franco, but after all the fanfare I gave in. To my surprise this is actually a pretty funny movie.
In the example of Ed Wood the movie follows the making of the so bad it's amazing movie The Room. Disaster Artist does a lot of things right. It tells an interesting true story and it has some genuinely funny moments. The movie also had a great ensemble cast of comedians.
Franco's role with over the top and ridiculous. Normally that would be a bad thing, but the man he was portraying was also over-the-top and ridiculous. I have to say he did a good job overall. At the heart of the movie is a fun underdog story that was an enjoyable watch. A 8 out of 10.
