Ingrown, L.A. Toenail

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2018)

This movie is strictly for the ingrown L.A. cult of The Room fans. I, however, knew nothing about the backstory for this film. I knew nothing about the movie The Room or the book written about it, The Disaster Artist. I thus viewed the movie as a stand-alone film, on its own terms. As such, it's horrible, a pure waste.
James Franco & his clique (Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow, etc.) are, as usual, unfunny, as flat as yesterday's beer.
There are cameos by a bunch of passé, Hollywood insiders (Sharon Stone, Melanie Griffith, Christine Bell, Bryan Cranston, Zack Braff, Judd Apatow, etc. -- Meyerowitz redux?), further proving this is a cliquish event, the place to be seen (one last time).
(Franco and his sagging, insider clique chortle & guffaw, all the way to the bank.)
Any claim that this movie is about male friendship is false. It's just plain silly and witless.
