A great, funny and sometimes even moving story of the making of the best worst movie ever (Oh hi IMDb)

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2017)

First off, yes I have seen The Room so I went in to this film with prior knowledge of what exactly it was about. Oh and yes the description "The Citizen Kane of Bad Movies" is a fitting description seeing I've called it the funniest non comedy movie I have ever seen. Also yeah I have also seen the actual Citizen Kane and that was brilliant too.
This film was brilliant, James Franco really nails his performance as Tommy Wiseau from his first scene. The first time you see him on screen it all feels familiar about him but by the end of the scene you believe that he was Tommy Wiseau. And with a interview with the real Greg Sestero playing in the background Dave Franco really nailed him in his own way as well. But the thing about this film that stands out is the friendship between James and Dave Franco playing Tommy and Greg. Both actors were what really made this film, you get to feel and go through the ups and downs of making a film or trying to make it as a actor in Hollywood. And the rest of the cast help in the right kind of educated and often in a funny way how ridiculous and inexplicable so many of the things of The Room where neither explained or made sense.
Only spoiler if you have seen The Room warning: All the spoon pictures never come up at all, that's the only famous thing about The Room that doesn't come up if you don't count all the questions everyone has ever asked about Tommy Wiseau but he never answers.
But towards the end you really start to feel the emotions the main characters and it does work in a relatable way. There was a moment were they set up what would ultimately become The Room's legacy as a cult film (only one I know that I know of that has the kind of cult following you associate with The Rocky Horror Picture Show) and the I was actually moved by it. But I still had a good time enjoying the story of this film and being reminder of what made The Room so bad yet enjoyable. There is some irony that the worst film of all time was the basis of one of the best films of the year.
So in all The Disaster Artist is a brilliant film and I would say that if you have seen The Room regardless of what you thought of it you should definitely see this film. But even if you have not there are plenty of things to enjoy about this film.
