Autistic Reviewers Opinion Of This Movie.

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2017)

I'm sure everybody remembers Tommy Wiseau's classic, laughable disastrous movie "The Room." After 14 years since it's 2003 release it has developed a cult following around the world, and while Tommy Wiseau was aiming for the movie serious and dramatic movie ever made, it ended up being the most laughable movie ever made, and yet so many people remember this movie more than last years Best Picture Oscar Winner. Here in "The Disaster Artist" it takes you deep inside who Tommy Wiseau really is and how he wanted the Hollywood dream. James Franco plays Tommy Wiseau, a man who is fearless and wants his fame, and Dave Franco plays Greg Sestero, a man who wants his Hollywood fame and thinks Tommy Wiseau is the best solution and thing that has ever happened to him. Together they finally agree to make a movie called "The Room." One by one, they get each actor/actress and crew member to become apart of the movie, and slowly we see how it all progresses. What makes this movie really great, and really inspiring is that while we can all agree Tommy Wiseau was too over confident and so over the top and dreaming too big, and how we can just shake our heads and laugh at him the film shows us the sad side to it which is that Tommy was a man who had a lot of heart and a lot of feelings and was really trying to make it, but nobody would give him the chance for they thought he was a loser and a nobody. The film touches on real facts on how hard it would be to get jobs and auditions in Hollywood. James Franco playing Tommy Wiseau was flawless. He was hilarious and he really knew how to touch your heart and makes you feel sorry for him. Dave Franco is another good performer here. He plays the part well by sticking with his buddy and trying not to ever let him down no matter what opportunity arises. The supporting cast are great, Seth Rogen and Jackie Weaver in particular. The direction by James Franco was really good as well. All in all it is a really funny movie, but the good thing about this film is that its heart is in the right place and knew when to make us feel for Tommy Wiseau. Highly recommended in my opinion.

film lovers ourselves and audiences world wide, we know that there are bad films that exist among us, with The Room this particular film has a huge cult following for its bad value, performances, script and inconsistent tone. It's bad enough that we laugh at it, mock it and yet praise it's bad values. The Disaster Artist tells it's story of how it came to be and it results in plenty of laughs, great moments and a solid leading performance that adds to the list of this year's best performances.
With a cast of recognizable actors and actresses including James Franco, Dave Franco, Seth Rogen and Alison Bre to name a few, the performances are all great throughout but it's James's performance as the oddly famous Tommy Wiseau that steals the film. From his behavior, style and even speech and acting range, it's quite a near pitch perfect role that seems like a blast.
The script and pace is right on target, not a dull or heavy moment that drags the film and the overall direction (which is helmed by James Franco) is great that would be considered for award nominations, including his lead performance.
Overall, TDA is a fascinating film that captures the essences of how a film can be so bad and how one dream can be hard to accomplish in life. Well worth seeing if you have seen The Room countless times or you are in for a film with a message about avoiding making a bad film and capturing a dream that's not as easy. 4/5 - Nick
