Truly A Great Tribute To Tommy Wiseau

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2020)

Pros:
1. James Franco (Tommy Wiseau) gives a phenomenal performance and nails Tommy Wiseau perfectly.
2. James and Dave Franco (Greg), unsurprisingly, have incredible chemistry together.
3. The comedy is comedy gold, and it stems naturally from the character of Tommy Wiseau, as well as the character interactions.
4. Despite the over-the-top nature of the film, at its heart, it's about a lonely, misunderstood man who desperately seeks acceptance, respect, and friendship.
5. The emotional moments actually land, and land well.
6. It's a genuinely heartwarming and satisfying moment at the end when Tommy Wiseau embraces the standing ovation given after his showing of The Room (2003).
7. The ending credits comparison between The Disaster Artist (2017) and The Room (2003) are nicely done and entertaining to watch.
Cons:
1. There is minor usage of unnecessary and annoying shaky cam.
2. The score is slightly overbearing at times during the supposedly tender moments.
3. The movie is over-edited and has far too many cuts.
4. The conflict presented is horribly rushed through and is explored nowhere near as deeply as it should be.
