James Franco did a fantastic job.

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2018)

The Room, may actually be the worst movie ever made. It is so bad that it wrapped back around the rating scale and actually became, good? No, that can't be right...But somehow this movie now has "cult classic" status. This movie has a horrible plot, terrible script and even worse acting brought to you by the producer, director and actor Tommy Wiseau, who played the character Johnny. If you have not seen The Room yet, you probably should...even if you have to fast forward most of it. You definitely need to watch it in order to fully appreciate The Disaster Artist. James Franco's portrayal of Tommy Wiseau/Johnny was spot on, his accent and mannerisms had me amazed and many of the scenes in The Disaster Artist looked like they were plucked straight from The Room.
James Franco fantastically portrayed Tommy Wiseau. It really is a testament to Franco's acting skills that at times I actually questioned if it was Wiseau or James Franco on the big screen. The imagined behind the scenes depictions of Wiseau as he goes through filming and "acting" was so believable. The end of The Disaster Artist actually had me questioning if it was a comedy, like I initially believed. It felt more like a tragedy near the end. And maybe that is how we know Franco did an amazing job: that we can go from completely mocking Wiseau and his terrible acting and screen writing in The Room - to watching The Disaster Artist and relating to Wiseau through James Franco's portrayal. James Franco might even deserve an Oscar for his performance.
