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".

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.… Expand

After “God’s Own Country”, “Wonder” and “Coco” I thought I was on a roll but then I was hit smack in the face with the awful “Just Getting Started” and now “The Disaster Artist”!

I really don’t know how I feel about James Franco as an actorAfter “God’s Own Country”, “Wonder” and “Coco” I thought I was on a roll but then I was hit smack in the face with the awful “Just Getting Started” and now “The Disaster Artist”!

I really don’t know how I feel about James Franco as an actor as he can be excellent as he is in the double role in the HBO series “The Duece” but unforgettable in most movies he makes.

In “The Disaster Artist” he plays a weird and basically dislikable human being who, supposedly, made the worst movie ever made though I have heard that about other directors and their movies—Ed Woods, anybody? This may be the worst film made about a person who wrote, starred in, produced and directed a movie, in other words, Tommy Wiseau.

Dave Franco, yes James’ brother, plays Greg Sestero who becomes lifelong friends with Wiseau without any real reason given in the film except, maybe, to hang onto the wealthy Wiseau’s for his money. I was going to say fame but before this film I never heard of the man, well either, or the movie he made “The Room” or the book this film is based on written by Sestero.

The only ‘interesting’ thing about this movie is the end—no, not a pun—where they show the actors in this film alongside the original actors in “The Room”.

Please don't even accidentally confuse “The Room” with last year’s excellent “Room” and don’t waste your time seeing “The Disaster Artist”. You would be better off seeing the film about James Dean, who is referenced in this film, which made James Franco a star.… Expand
