A Triumph

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2018)

James Franco once again displays what a versatile actor he is in this adaptation of Greg Sesteros fantastic book.
I am a massive fan of the story, initially viewing The Room led me to research how it came about, and although that movie itself falls short of what Tommy intended, I'm sure he's happy with the cult status and career options himself and Greg have now!
The Disaster Artist movie does simplify some aspects of the book for the screen, but it's forgivable, as the tone and main points are perfect. Both Franco's are superb, especially when you consider James was directing, Rogen is his usual reliable Rogen lol, Efron continues to impress me, nice to see Alison Brie as well because of the genuine chemistry between her and Dave.
I really enjoyed the after credits scene too, because although Tommy's direction was seemingly harsh, he appears to be able to laugh at himself now, which rounds the story off nicely for me.
The score also deserves a special mention, the warm, recurring theme is perfect.
One of my favorite comedies for years
