It has been 6 years since I reviewed The Room, and since it's 2003 release, few other movies ever come close to it's brilliant so bad it's good quality that is so rare to find. Most below average movies are just boring, but this one is a gem!
Now, strangely, a humorous adaptation has been released based on this infamous personal story created by Tommy Wiseau, and it basically is that, but it's also more than that, as the story is more about the fictional making of it, while the most famous scenes are almost acted identically.
James Franco plays Tommy Wiseau spot on, with his trademark being essentially the same. We see how the director, producer, writer and actor of The Room is behaving rather similar in real life and his main role in the movie, while everyone is dying to know the man's age and his birth place, because of his thick accent.
The Disaster Artist is a very funny movie that is fully appreciated if you watched The Room beforehand, although it would be interesting to see the remarks and reviews made if people watched them in reverse instead. it's also not a frame by frame, scene by scene adaptation, but rather a bit of "less is more" with background behind the scenes thrown in if you get my drift.
Rating: 7.5
