It's competent, but I think I would've liked it more if it was more daring or crazy. I want freeze-frames and Scorsese-style voice-overs. I want Adaptation-like moments of self-doubt and loathing and temporary insanity. I want Kubrick-like slow zooms onto Tommy's face while leaving the viewer confused and creeped out. ...But then again I also want to see a Leprechaun-Wishmaster crossover movie so what do I know.

Doesn't dig into the characters as much as I'd hoped. Franco's portrayal of the courageous fool is a solid anchor but too often it feels like it's just riding on the gag that he sounds foreign. Franco the younger is miscast despite obvious chemistry. A more believable Sestero would have gone a long way towards finding the gravitas that this (and by extension The Room) was yearning for.

sorta funny, but the fact that one of the best books of the decade wasn't turned into something better than a mild comedy is an indictment. it opens with testimonials from celebrities about The Room, as big a warning sign as you can get, and follows it up with a generic, screenwriting 101 story structure and characterization that's only bolstered by the reality behind it. it's more of a tribute to the people making it than the men who made The Room.

Not as eccentric as Ed Wood but twice as mysterious, Tommy Wiseau is a perfect character for someone like Franco to get lost in. I think Zach Galifianakis lampooned James the best when he asked him which one of his art projects made people roll their eyes the hardest. In a perfect world, James and Dave would tour with this movie and heckle themselves the way Tommy and Greg do.

You really gain some sympathy for Wiseau by watching him get made fun of, become the bully he saw everyone else as, and then being so arrogant that he thinks his movie will be good but ends up becoming the notorious for how terrible it is. Not a lot of movies can brin you through a journey with emotion for someone you know little to nothing about, but this one does it pretty well. The acting is great (especially Franco) and in the bargain, we're left with a good message. Issa good movie, Mark.

Wonderfully uncomfortable. And frankly, funny as hell, and charming, and a film that hits a gamut of emotions instead of just spoon-feeding-throwing us fan-love. Franco falls into Wiseau like Kinski in a Herzog - a logic of seething, perverse naturalism winking at us with one lazy eye. Bless this movie for showing us that one super-rich vampire from "New Orleans" truly does represent the American Dream, in all the psychosis the Dream implies.

This beat the odds; outside the opening and closing, it's not frivolous or fannish. For my money it got in Wiseau's head much better than the book and the wealth of other related material. The figure that emerges is a lonely, deranged, Trump-esque creature of pure id, utterly free of empathy, whose unlikely wealth has spoiled him. The gales of laughter at the premiere at the climax of the film are indulgent and spiteful, putting the mindset behind any "so bad it's good" fanbase in a nutshell.

If you know 'the room' and the mystique surrounding it, you can skip without a second thought. If you don't know 'the room' and the mystique surrounding it, watch 'the room' and google the mystique surrounding it. This movie is nothing but an elaborate audio commentary, never adressing any really interesting stuff, but instead smearing you with the known trivia, explaining when something's funny and why. If you didn't get that on your own, maybe it just wasn't for you?

Franco gives us a sympathetic Wiseau, a man so involved in his passion and his dream that he tends to overlook reality. He's so bizarre because he's such a strong dreamer, so confident that he can get things done his way, regardless of skill, talent, or reality. And the truth is, for good or bad, the man set out to make a self-financed movie that would be remembered and he did. I can buy into this romanticized version of Wiseau as a genuine, impassioned artist who only lacked skill or talent

It's hard to put this much talent into a movie and not make it entertaining. That said, the Greg Sestero Ego Project is not necessarily any less annoying than the Tommy Wiseau one. If all you ask of a movie is good impersonations, the Francos have you covered, but ultimately it's nowhere near as singular as The Room is, and fails to really do anything of its own either.

The Room is best enjoyed with the aura of mystique surrounding it. Who? How? WHY??? So unlike Tim Burton's Ed Wood I'd argue that this behind the scenes story actually diminishes that experience in all it's asinine glory. That being said,The Disaster Artist is in itself a thoroughly enjoyable, well acted and heartwarmingly optimistic little tale of the American Dream come true.

Well, first of all, if you haven't seen The Room, I don't know if this film will have much for you. Franco's Wiseau is pretty good, and I enjoyed the rest of the cast. And they did a good job at re-creating scenes from The Room, and they clearly had fun doing it. It had some funny parts, but a lot of them were like, "Hey, remember this part from The Room?" It was an okay movie overall, just not all I hoped it would be based on how much I enjoyed the book.

It seems unlikely that anyone who hasn't seen The Room is going to get anywhere near as much out of this as those who have, but fans of the unintentionally hilarious and unforgettably bizarre fiasco should find this behind-the-scenes retelling of how the whole film came to be plenty entertaining. The final act's conflict and reconciliation feels contrived for dramatic effect, but the rest - esp the scenes where Wiseau's... um, eccentricities cease to be funny- is plenty plausible and compelling.

There's this guy who's been my best friend since grade school. Like any long-lasting friendship, it's often been marked by irrational arguments and fits of insecurity, as well as good cheer and mutual support when things weren't looking up. More than just this generation's version of Ed Wood, TDA is a loving and at times sidesplitting tribute to friendship in all its wacky and undying splendour. And whatever genius casting director is behind Josh Hutcherson as Denny deserves some kind of award.

As a devout follower of The Room, I really feel there's something a bit extra here for the fans, who can follow the infamous antics seen in the film and described in Sestero's tell-all book, though as hysterical as the film-making moments here are, this wacky tale of these two men (one eccentric, one entirely normal) is presented as an inspirational story for aspiring artists -- I think the message here is get seven million dollars out of nowhere and turn your ill-advised dreams into reality.

Beyond nailing the accent and mannerisms, I was pretty floored at how well Franco captured the controlling nature of Wiseau. The film is mainly light and comedic, but its the disturbing flares of Tommy's severe insecurity that gives "The Disaster Artist" its purpose. Read the book to dive a little deeper.

James Franco is superb in THE DISASTER ARTIST, which is a weird inversion of the film's subject: accidental auteur Tommy Wiseau and the wacky origin of the 21st century's best worst movie, THE ROOM. Boisterously funny and vacuous as hell, the film leans heavily on a generic odd-couple template and devotes far too much time to reverent re-enactments of scenes funnier in their original context. An amusing lark that fails to reveal anything interesting about Wiseau or moviemaking in general.

Franco's love/thank-you letter to Tommy Wiseau is wildly entertaining. Obviously, it all hinges on his performances which does not disappoint. What does disappoint, a bit, is the superficiality of the film. Maybe it is because of the mysterious nature of Wiseau, but The Disaster Artist misses out on being Ed Wood and settles for just a really good impression with a light-hearted narrative.

The story behind the creation of The Room is interesting and the movie does a good job of detailing it. It's light and shallow, but informative and many of the antics speak for themselves. It needs a more compelling lead, as a movie, to anchor it all, and more depth into its supporting cast would have been appreciated. Still, it's got some laughs, it's got some inspiration, and it's got a great performance from James Franco.

Tommy Wiseau is quite an easy target to make fun of, yet "The Disaster Artist" avoids being a one-joke film and gives very interesting - and respectful - actual insight into his and Greg's psyche. Of course it is also a hilarious creation that not only offers riveting backstage access to the "greatest bad movie ever made" but also manages to recreate it shot-for-shot seamlessly. The entire cast is very good, with James Franco shining in a perfect performance as Wiseau.

"The Room" is no "Rocky Horror Picture Show"--which never took itself too seriously. People don't give a standing ovation to something they laughed at, not with, no matter how chic they knew it was going to become to hate it. That's proven by the derisive laughter and ironic humor of the final scene in [i]The Room[/i]. Technically OK, but the premier is just too much to swallow.

I had no idea what to expect from this & the filmmakers seemed just as confused. I hate to say it but the uplifting/unsettling story comes off as a coy excuse to cash in on the popular train wreck. The only scenes with thematic commitment were the cheap & obvious gags basically reenacting The Room. Wiseau as a character is not just Ed Wood from New Orleans & proves too difficult for Franco to tackle. He nails the famously bizarre mannerisms but beyond them gives an awkwardly flaccid performance.

Is it possible that Greg is every bit as fascinating a character as Tommy? Perspective bias of course. The comedy elements hit 100% of the time. I laughed consistently. I can buy the "surface-level" arguments, and the creation of the script felt rushed, but, it does paint an unflattering picture of the Hollywood machine at times, and there's a bit more depth than maybe it's given credit for, in terms of Wiseau and the cast & crew. Some hyperbole in the ending for sure. This didn't let me down.

Part of me wishes they focused a little more on how Tommy and Greg really became friends in the first place, since it just seems so unlikely. But it's a really fun look into the making of The Room. At times it felt completely unbelievable--but it was generally the times when I know it was following Greg's account from the book pretty much word for word.

I wish I hadn't read the book. This is better. James Franco not only nailed his portrayal of Wiseau, but he has proven himself to be an excellent director as well.

Once in a while a film manages to make me feel joyful, which is vastly different from being entertained. Thanks to Wiseau's his existence and the companionship of his pal Sestero, with a little bit of Franco bros goodness, The Disaster Artist is truly a one off. It's all incredibly naive, like Wiseau himself, but that naivete encapsulates a lot of charm at the same time. The Room & TDA forever entangled in cult status. Oh hi doggy.

Beyond the Franco brothers I'm not actually a huge fan of the way they cast the film - so much of the Apatow crew and their mildly-alt-comedy friends seem to show up that it actually becomes a bit distracting (especially Seth Rogen). But it's an interesting and well-directed story all the same that won a fair number of laughs out of me and comes to an ending that I actually found quite moving in its own unique way.

James Franco is INCREDIBLE. Dave Franco, however, turned Greg from an innocent, wet-behind-the-ears struggling actor into a meek, apologizing lapdog. The screenplay was disappointing in that it turned a story of witnessing the living train wreck of Tommy Wiseau into a forced bromance about friendship and following your dreams.

The Disaster Artist takes one of the worst films ever made and makes a great movie out of its making that was hilarious and oddly inspirational. James Franco does great work on both sides of the camera, showing his ability to mimic Wiseau as a person and as a filmmaker. Some of the other performances can't quite measure up to him and the writing occasionally betrays the film's darkly comedic feel, but they don't become what I'd consider flaws.

Wiseau is the strangest man walking on this earth, so any film that's faithful to The Room and the man himself is going to be a funny and entertaining experience. The film's hurt by being a bit shallow; the motivations and relationships are simplistic and the true story is definitely doing the heavy lifting in terms of the comedy. Luckily Franco is brilliant in the role, capturing not only Wiseau's bizarre mannerisms but the insecurity and misplaced narcissism.

I'm one of those weird people who know every scene in The Room by heart. Don't judge me. Or rather judge me harshly, I deserve it. The Disaster Artist captures the essence of The Room so well, I can't even recognize James Franco as Tommy Wiseau.

No big set pieces or moments to really drive this home. Instead The Disaster Artist is just an overall incredibly well told and superbly acted film that features a very strong emotional backbone. Honestly, Franco captured everything about Wiseau perfectly. Also something of note that's not really a positive or a negative, but I don't know how all of these bit parts had (relatively speaking) such well known actors playing them. Kinda reminds me of The Cable Guy in that regard.

Oddly touching film walks the tightrope between mocking and affectionate comedy, keeping its balance thanks to Franco's fine work behind the camera, as well as his endearing evocation of Wiseau in front of the camera. Dave Franco is just as good in his own way as Greg, though he is presented far more glowingly than in the novel. Supporting cast is uniformly excellent, with all gag cameos hitting home; the finale, understandably re-written for narrative considerations, doesn't quite come off.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen; can't think of one that's made me laugh more. Even the pre-, post- and actual credits come with genuine knee-slappers. Even without the big laughs, The Disaster Artist is a very nice and inspirational drama that would've worked even if its basis had been purely fictional. Since it wasn't, it's made me like and respect Wiseau's work even more. Franco is really great as Wiseau and his brother isn't bad, either. 7th film of 2018.

It's fun, feel-good, and interesting enough to be a good adaptation of Sestero's fantastic book, as well as a good tie-in to Wiseau's cult classic. However, the accessible tone that they went with for the film does bring it down so that built-in audience members, such as The Room lovers might leave feeling less than satisfied. It's fun and smiled through it all, but don't go in with The Room level expectations.

It's extremely funny and well-acted (the cast is basically all of comedy's best and brightest), and it draws together its narrative and thematic through-lines elegantly, even if never gets as deep into the "Wiseau the person versus Wiseau the personality" dynamic that could have made this genuinely great.

I don't think it's as funny as The Room fans think it is, basically they're just waiting for Franco to do a fav line from the film, but it has its moments. Franco gives one of the best performances of the year. Also, can we stop acting like The Room is two guys doing it all for their art? It's far too easy to do it all when you're rich and really have no risk involved. If you want a film from 2017 that portrays this "doing it for your art" way better see Brigsby Bear.

It's not my brand of humor (I'm doing a dumb accent, I'm being overly stupid, etc.), but people around me were busting up quite a bit.

A masterpiece. Franco was able to bypass playing Wiseau as a joke, and give him the character emotional complexity. This film doesn't just show the power of friendship, but the relentless passion of a true outsider trying to create something large than himself.

I love seeing the production of movies portrayed in movies, so of course this worked for me. I was familiar with The Room and Tommy before seeing this, even if I never actually saw the film. The acting is great, it has some decent humor, and it takes you on quite the journey. The end credits scene (way after the shot by shot comparison) is pretty great too.

The Room (2003) set a new standard for bad movies: the entire thing has an unmatched disconnect from reality. After watching it, I wanted to know how someone could possibly achieve such a marvel of anti-filmmaking. Greg Sestero's book "The Disaster Artist" gave me a glimpse into the curious mind of Tommy Wiseau. The film adaptation takes the same true story to a surprisingly inspirational and emotional place, and left me convinced that Sestero and Wiseau really did achieve their dream.

This somehow managed to be hilarious for all the reasons we expected (Tommy Wiseau is a weird alien with funny diction) without actually pointing and laughing at the man himself. By the end, the film takes a very sympathetic look at Wiseau, and it's possible to empathize even though he's a bizarre, unrelatable asshole for much of the film. Pretty astonished by that accomplishment. Franco, of course, is the reason the whole thing works from the concept level. It's his best performance.

He Who Gets Slapped and most of the Lon Chanry films of that era would make a good companion piece to understand Wiseau and this movie.

Honestly one of the best times I've had at the movies this year. I'm not sure how good it is or how rewatchable it is and it's always tricky with things that demand past knowledge, but this deserved to be made and is Franco's Ed Wood.

Disappointing. James F is frequently unrecognisable and impressive as the enigmatic Wiseau and it would have been interesting to see if he'd have nabbed the Oscar if he didn't get 'MeToo'd' just before the ceremony. Apart from that Rogen is terrible, and Dave F unconvincing as Sestero and not helped by the worst stuck on pube beard seen this side of Team America. For me DA isn't that funny, tragic, nor as inspiring as it could have been and even with James F is an incredibly mediocre effort

More touching than I would have expected (I have not read the book at the time of writing this). Has a genuine take on friendship, loneliness, insecurity, dream following, and acceptance. It does feel like James Franco sort of went a bit too far with the Tommy Wiseau impression but to his credit it didn't feel like that often and I don't think it would be possible not to for a guy like that. I can't imagine what people who haven't seen The Room or know of Wiseau would think of the performance.

Probably a better Making-of of The Room than the official Making-of. Dave and James Franco are fantastic as the oddest friendship in recent memory, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau. The Disaster Artist tackles its subject with enough respect to be truely moving at times while not shying away from the more unpleasant parts of the story. All around a very entertaining and funny movie. I almost died laughing during the scene where they shoot the "Oh hi, Mark" sequence of The Room.

At the risk of sounding like 'that guy', the book IS more comprehensive, BUT, the film is more emotionally involving and entertaining. It's the most beautiful love letter to filmmaking in a long time, and yes, I've seen Argo.

It's odd...if I try to seperate how much I dislike The Room from this movie, it seems too mean, but if I don't do that it doesn't seem mean enough. Overall it's enjoyable enough but doesn't really escape the incredibly amounts of self indulgence that Franco's projects usually contain.

How James Franco can get a Golden Globe for a performance that is simply a bad imitation is beyond me. The film is neither good or bad, but it is interesting to balance between mocking these talentless people and celebrating them. There are some good scenes and way to many unnecessary reshoots of The Room scenes. It would probably have help if I had more interest in The Room.

Cringe comedy at its finest, and that's exactly how it should be. Excellent movie with a hilarious script that shines a light in that particular mystery. The Franco brothers together are an excellent team, aided by the always reliable Rogen.

I struggle with secondhand embarrassment, so this was a difficult watch. I expected a less conventional narrative. The abridged, sanitised story in the movie fails to properly convey the tension and complications behind The Room. It's obvious a lot was left out to make it more palatable to general audiences. I wanted more reality. I was also disappointed with Franco's acting. TDA's interesting but not as interesting as it could and should have been. I don't think I'll ever want to see it again.

This may only work for people who love "The Room", but that's about everybody anyway, so I think it works. As a fan of the book, it changes around things quite a bit from the original, but to fit a 2 hour movie it keeps the core of what's important, and I'm not much of one for retreads anyway. One of the highlights is the great emotional moments with difficult moral crises that will make the audience either excuse or blame certain characters. The cast is great, James Franco being the highlight.

James Franco carries the film and definitely recreates the mystery of Wiseau to perfection, however the film does not reach the level of discomfort that the actors clearly felt on the set of The Room. It strayed from diving into the darkness of Tommy's controlling nature and just became a shot for shot remake of the room with fluff scenes to make you care about Tommy and paint him as some unsung hero of Hollywood. There is more too it than that and that story would have been more coherent.
