Review of The Disaster Artist (2017) by Imthenoob — 21 Feb 2018

IDK, Maybe I am missing the appeal of this film because I thought it sucked. Half the movie is spent on this painfully awkward introduction to Mark and Tommy's "friendship". This friendship really comes off as Mark realizing that Tommy was rich and so he uses Tommy and his money to further his potential acting career. Progressively through the movie, We kind of see that confirmation as Mark becomes frustrated with not just making the film but also with lack of work as an actor and in turn he takes the frustrations out on Tommy, who genuinely seems to be lost in his own little world.

And performance wise, I get that they have to act terribly when re-creating scenes from the actual film but even when they are acting outside of that, The cast still does a bad job at acting in general. It just doesn't sit right. And I didn't find the movie funny at all, I found it more pathetic than anything. And the trailers spoiled a good many of the "funny" moments throughout so that kind of ruined the fun as well.
