Everyone who has really lived has had a friend like Tommy Wiseau

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2018)

No, I haven't seen The Room (2003).
But I know the director. Not personally, but I know who he his. I've met many of his clones. Some of them are effective duplicates, some just passing similarities.
THE DISASTER ARTIST tells the story of a friendship between a young man at the start of his career and a very strange individual who claims to have roots in New Orleans, with a strange way of speaking and a fixation on having talent, despite evidence to the contrary.
Greg and Tommy wind up making what many have called the worst movie of the 21st century. Dave Franco plays a heartfelt grounded Sestero, while his brother, a sometime actor by name of James, plays the other-worldly Wiseau.
So, whether your version of Tommy is called Zkot Pen, or Ellesar Tetramariner or "Virgo", your journey through life has crossed paths with him before.
Enjoyable for the bizarre characterisation.
