Review of The Disaster Artist (2017) by Lanceeyy — 25 Feb 2018
The Disaster Artist is about the enigma known as Tommy Wiseau, and his cult creation, The Room. The movie offers a tongue-in-cheek glimpse into the making of The Room, and what led to it's conception. James Franco was brilliant.
He captures the essence, and mannerisms of Tommy Wiseau incredibly well. I was convinced that I was seeing Tommy, instead of Franco. Everyone here acted brilliantly when they were asked to act horrendously.
The movie will satisfy all your expectations coming into the theater. It will make you laugh out loud, while making you cringe. It's an awkward "Did that really happen?" kind of laugh, and I love that.
Overall, I really did enjoy this film, and it was a feel-good kind of movie for me. I felt good coming in, and I felt even better coming out of that theater. I don't think you need to watch The Room before watching this film, but it helps to know a bit about The Room beforehand.
It's better, but it's not needed. I do recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good time. Read about, or better yet, watch The Room to enhance your appreciation for The Disaster Artist.
