"I need to show my ass to make this movie"-Tommy wiseau

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2019)

Yes that is indeed a line spoken in the movie and it is amazing. To fans of so bad its good movies such as myself, the name Tommy Wiseau will definitely ring a bell, for it is this name that brought us the most wonderful movie ever created, The Room. The Room is so full of inconsistencies, plot points that don't make sense, terrible acting, an even more terrible dialogue that it has since achieved cult status and is still being talked about by film lovers to this day. In that sense, making a movie about how an extremely incompetent movie was made isn't really a bad idea, and James Franco definitely delivered on this one.
Just from his Tommy impression alone you can already tell that this will be a great film. The actors and casting were spot on, not just in performances but in some cases even in physical appearance. Everyone did an outstanding job in portraying their designated characters and its fairle evident that they did their research before going into the film. The chemistry between the actors felt realistic and no one seemed out of place. Dave and James Franco obviously took center stage and gave performances way beyond expectations. I know I've already said this but damn, Franco's impression of Wiseau is top notch and is on its own already a reason to watch the movie.
Their are some comedic aspects in line with their source material but it doesn't really overlap with the overall motif which is the drama that these real life people went through during the production of this movie. All the tension felt real, not just because of the main actors' performances but also how the extras reacted in the background. There are slight deviations from what had actually happened but not so much to the extent where it stopped being believable.
I especially adore the ending comparisons in the end of the movie which showed how much love and care was put into making this. Its totally deserving of its awards and is enjoyable for even those who have never seen The Room. Although with that said, if you've never seen the Room before then you are greatly missing out. It has great references that makes it more enjoyable if you've seen and fell in love with its source material. Definitely worth checking out.
