Movie Review: The Disaster Artist (2017)
This movie won’t make much sense if you haven’t seen “The Room” so I’d suggest you to watch the original first (if you haven’t seen it already). It’s also worth noting that the humor in this movie is consistent with that of the original. In other words; if you didn’t like “The Room” this movie may not be your cup of tea.
With that being said “The Disaster Artist” was definitely one of the best movies to come out in 2017. It carefully touched upon various issues that Tommy and Greg had faced while filming the movie “The Room”.
It allowed us a rare glimpse at what the real story behind the movie was and what lead up to the making of it. Something that many people (myself included) have always wondered about. Some questions however remain still unanswered. Questions about Tommy’s origin, his net worth, and age have been addressed but not answered. Which I think is good; it’s not really vital to the story behind the story. Plus, one might argue that it adds the little bit of mystery that every good story ought to have. I think it’s a very well executed biographical comedy movie. Keep in mind that it’s technically an adaptation of the eponymous book which was written by none other than Greg Sastero aka the guy who played Mark in “The Room” himself.
As for the acting; I have to say that I was blown away by James Franco’s performance. He did a marvelous job at depicting Tommy Wiseau. He got every one of his mannerisms down to a tee. 10/10
All in one the movie is incredibly hilarious. My facial muscles were literally hurting because I laughed throughout the entirety of the movie. That’s how funny it was.
Final verdict: highly recommended (if you liked “The Room”)
