The Disaster Artist is a movie made as a biography of another movie, The Room from 2003, a stinker that apparently became a cult movie because it was so bad. I didn't see the original, and I'm not planning to, as to me The Disaster Artist is a weak movie about an even weaker movie so what's the point of watching the other one? James Franco plays Tommy Wiseau, the director/writer/actor from The Room, a weird guy that wants to look excentric but in fact is just a random weirdo not worth mentioning. The character is annoying to watch, I don't say James Franco didn't a good job playing him, he probably did a good job imitating a boring guy. The story isn't funny, and isn't good enough to waste your time with it. Weird can be good but in this case it just isn't.

Making a good movie about the making of a horrible movie has got to be harder than it seems, and Franco does a great job of playing the title of character as a man who is passionate about his horrible ideas. IT is as good as Tim Burton's 1994 film Ed Wood, in that respect. On one level it proves that if someone has enough money they can get anything done, but on a deeper level the movie is about achieving ones dreams no matter what anyone else thinks. Franco's performance as a misunderstood artist resonates with us now and into the future.....for reasons he probably did not predict it would.

"The disaster artist" isn't just a tribute to the worst movie of all time "The Room" but it is also an informative movie about filmaking and friendship. James Franco's performance is amazing, he performs Tommy Wiseau in such perfect way (both appearance and attitude). The movie has also a lot of funny moments and they all happened for real. In this movie, Tommy Wiseau is portrayed as a crazy inept actor (and director and writer) way too proud of himself which hardly tries to realize his dream to become a prestigious and beloved actor. The story of friendship between Tommy and Greg becomes also very touching, especially in the end. It's quite impossible watching this movie without smiling or crying. I think you don't have to watch the movie "The Room" in order to enjoy this piece of art.Final score 7.3/10 (good). "The disaster artist" tells the birth of a legend and a touching story of friendship. If you watched "The Room" then watch this movie immediately. You won't regret it.

While I can't really claim to be much of a fan of "The Room", and only having seen it once, then it was actually good fun to watch "The Disaster Artist". And it was fun to get a deeper insight into how "The Room" came around to be, and have a look at whom the people were behind the characters.James Franco was doing an amazing job as Tommy Wiseau, and his performance really carried the movie quite nicely. Actually, I will say that James Franco really nailed the performance here and captured the essence, mannerisms and mimics of Tommy Wiseau phenomenally well.I am sure that "The Disaster Artist" will do quite well, and add to the cult legacy that is "The Room".Aside from James Franco then they also had a great ensemble of supporting cast and cameo appearances which added spice to the movie.While "The Disaster Artist" certainly was entertaining, I doubt that I will return to watch it a second time. Why? Well, the movie just didn't seem to have enough contents to support multiple viewings.
