 What's a story James? Hey guys, this is my review for the disaster artist the film made by James Franco and Dave Franco based on the true events That happened in the creation of the world's worst slash best movie ever the room now Admittedly I was a little hesitant going into this film mainly because I just thought it was gonna be a parody based story With a bunch of Franco and Seth Frank and Seth Rogen's friends just kind of pulled in just to play random people And it's just a parody kind of like the interview or just a story with a lot of comedic bits in it However, it's not it's actually a really interesting conundrum It is a true story and it is a respectful true story It just so happens that the story itself is absolutely hysterical This is some of the best acting I've seen James Franco do in a while. I'm not freaking kidding He Incredibly embodies the actions and the mannerisms of Tommy Wiseau. You almost think he is actually the guy It is creepy how well he gets the voice the laugh. He has the laugh down But just the odd mannerisms of the dude He embodies him so well that It's only that he's Franco that you can keep watching him because if you were watching the actual Tommy Wiseau do this You would be terrified to see a gargoyle now admittedly that was something that I Was kind of interested to see because I've heard that there was a lot of really Really strange events that happened during the filming of this movie I've read tidbits and seen little tidbits of Greg Cistero's book that the film is based off of and there was one part I was actually kind of hoping wasn't gonna be in the movie. It was a scene or a part in the story where Greg and Tommy went out to a restaurant and Greg specifically remembers Tommy Requesting warm water not boiled water, but a glass of warm water. I was hoping that would have appeared It's a really weird little thing, but I've always thought that was just a Really eye-opening look into the character who Tommy is and this movie does it to the extent that they are limited to Because they only have as much information as Greg does and they only have as much information as Tommy is willing to give Who is still freaking mysterious about everything that he's done the film follows Greg played by Dave Franco Going off with Tommy Wiseau played by James and he finds that Tommy just has this energy in this really strange but welcoming mannerism that he moves with him to Los Angeles because apparently he just is able to afford two Apartments off of money. You have no idea which exists and they try to get into the acting business they keep on having issues and Tommy is having no luck So what they do is they create their own movie and Tommy White writes the script of the room and absolute calamity Happens this movie has a lot more depth into it than I thought it does is a lot more emotional moments There's a lot of very Uncomfortable moments that I didn't think was gonna happen and admittedly as uncomfortable as I felt during certain scenes Like the scene where he's talking to Tommy is talking to Judd Adupo and in the trailer it looks really funny because Judd Adupo says not in a million years, but after that now that seems really funny in the trailer, right? But the whole scene itself is very awkward. He's Acting out this scene from Shakespeare in front of him very loudly and very it's Very uncomfortable for everyone on the scene So the fact that they did add these elements into the film adds an extra layer that I wasn't expecting I appreciate for that especially to the fact that the film is Constantly on a shoulder cam. I don't think there's a steady shot throughout it really helps emulate the sort of mockumentary not mockumentary, but like a documentary sort of reenactment And that's what I thought was so intriguing and really pulled you into this movie And I actually made you care for this weird-ass looking gargoyle person Because at the end of the movie when the film is premiered and Tommy is really uncomfortable and starts to cry You actually feel for this weird-ass little dude the thing that I did like too is that they didn't pull any punches at least for how extremely strange and very Shady some of the onset practices were the fact that they filmed a sex scene on an open set is a big Fabo that's a huge no-no in the film industry the fact that they worked in a warehouse that had no AC that's the thing. I think that this movie is a lot more than just a comedy It's actually a true story That as I said just how happens to be an absolutely ridiculous true story and everyone's really good in it admittedly I think Dave Franco is just Dave Franco. I haven't really he's seen him be anything else besides The asshole he was in scrubs that unholy season nine But I know Dave Franco is okay but I really like that the friendship between the two is a believable friendship in terms of what they go through the hardships and a near breakup and Just the positions that Tommy put everyone in again. It's a very interesting movie. It is a funny movie I'll admit that you will be laughing quite a bit throughout the whole film But you're also gonna feel uncomfortable and you're also gonna be sitting there going How the fuck did this movie get made and honestly? That's probably one of the biggest things that I kind of wish that this movie delved a little bit into I wish Franco just I don't know if not Tommy giving up the information. I wish he had gone Do a little bit of an extra length to figure out just how certain aspects were like I admit I kind of respect him For the idea of not delving into those aspects because the end credit where they talk about how they don't know How old he is where he's from or where you got the money from is a little bit of a funny tidbit But I really do wish they actually had answer that because that would have been a little bit more depth Otherwise, I feel this is a very uncomfortable yet very engaging and very funny True story film that just so happens to be about the world's only human gargoyle in the end I'm gonna give the disaster artists a six out of seven. I enjoyed it I don't know if I'd watch it all over and over and over again like other comedies that the guys have done Just because like I said it it gets a little bit At times But I love at the end of the film that they do a lot of cross comparisons of scenes They shot like shot-for-shot movement for movement from the room and they play them side by side I thought that was a great idea even though it doesn't really add anything to the movie It's just funny. Oh wait. I actually almost forgot I went and saw the room at the real theater the theater that James Franco Supposedly got supposedly got first introduced to the room and well, they were giving out of these I Did not oh hi mock. Um, this is awesome. I love it. They were giving these away for free I'm kind of thinking of putting them up on the wall, but anyways guys.
