Review of The Disaster Artist (2017) by 3Ebfan511 — 31 Dec 2017

If you are thinking about seeing this movie, and you have not seen "The Room" I would strongly recommend watching the "Best" (worst) moments of the film on Youtube, which is about a 8 or 10 minute condensed version of all of the worst.

..moments of the movie. I have not seen the entire film myself and have only seen this condensed version of about 10 minutes..and was able to completely understand everything in the film as it recreates pretty much every one of those key scenes.

So with that said, if you have at least seen...scenes of the film you will be able to understand "The Disaster Artist" much better and enjoy it more fully. I really really liked "The Disaster Artist" and it would easily be one of the best comedies of 2017 and one of my favorite movies of the year.

Ultimately it treats Tommy slightly sympathetically which helps with the humor and is mostly a buddy-movie about friendship and following your dreams. The only failing of the film would maybe be how it did not shine a critical light on his character or delve too deeply into what makes him tick, but as a comedy that was not its objective, so it didn't dwell too long on the negatives, besides a few moments in 1 or 2 scenes, 1 of which being the most telling of the character in the film.

.which is only about 30 seconds. But...again, as a comedy and just showing what went down behind the scenes and the backstory of how these two guys met and the humor that comes out of them making one of the worst movies ever.

.and exceptional acting by Franco and Franco both...extremely good movie (for a comedy), with a lot of heart.
