Synopsis
With THE DISASTER ARTIST, James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau—an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable—into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero’s best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy's cult-classic disasterpiece The Room (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), The Disaster Artist is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend—and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

Here's to the ones who dream Foolish as they may seem
meeraJan 1, 2018i think the biggest reason this concept doesn’t work for me at all is because this movie tries to show us the “real tommy” behind the scenes and what he was thinking and feeling, when in reality he is a complete enigma and to assume anyone knows the first thing about him is…
LucySep 12, 2017this movie is a gift to the world. a true mitzvah. "a pure good," to quote Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List (as I do on the regular). James Franco's performance as Tommy Wiseau is so good that Daniel Day-Lewis had to retire out of shame. i look forwards to pushing him…

1994: Johnny Depp as Ed Wood 2017: James Franco as Tommy Wiseau 2040: Adam Driver as Neil Breen
DarrenDec 12, 2017The funniest thing in this movie is Adam Scott's opening talking head where he says "who remembers or cares about what won best picture ten years ago? But people are still talking about The Room". The film that won best picture ten years ago was No Country For Old Men.
Willow MaclayDec 4, 2017I am so glad this wasn’t a disappointment. One of the funniest films I’ve seen in awhile and also one of the most inspiring. Very important film to see as a film major.

43 James Franco, to put it bluntly, doesn't understand Tommy Wiseau. He may expertly mimic him in all his tirades and insecurities, his repetitive doses of myth and gobbled "American" energy, but the illusion is awfully clear-cut. Although a stale biopic end-credits card…

Christian Di LeoSep 11, 2017I would pay a lot of money to watch a shot-for-shot remake of The Room starring the cast of The Disaster Artist. Full review at ScreenCrush.

“Oh hi mark” One of my favorites and has some of my most quoted movie lines
Aim lovedThe Disaster Artistthis movie... I had moments of pure confusion, moments feeling bad for Tommy, yet understanding greggs side. Many different emotions yet it all ended in the thought- I'm so glad I watched this movie. what an interesting story. The fact it's not fictional makes it all the more fun
Scott Fausel likedThe Disaster ArtistBarely remember much of this film, but the" Oh, hi Mark" scene is so hilariously unforgettable. Thanks for the reminder.

Alex Ruppert likedThe Disaster ArtistJames Franco is so smart. No one except him would think to make a movie like this. And he does it really well. I like the idea of James Franco casting himself as Tommy and his brother as Marc. Gives them a good natural relationship for the characters. Overall a really good movie.
Pooja dislikedThe Disaster ArtistJust a really weird movie. Dave Franco makes it bearable while James Franco makes it worse and entirely unbearable. I don’t know why we needed this to exist at all.
- Doodooboy lovedThe Disaster Artist
Can’t help but find Tommy so likeable funny and well paced doesn’t drag. Some real funny moments too. Minus the points where we see Tommy’s peener tho.
Crys lovedThe Disaster ArtistFranco did a remarkable job portraying such an eccentric unbelievably real life character. This was an entertaining watch for sure.

A very fun, funny, sometimes sad but always sincere portrayal of Tommy Wiseau and the making of the Room.
BDBritt DeeAwkward in all the right places. Recommend watching The Room first so you really have a better understanding of Tommy Wiseau

EMEvan MackThe Disaster Artist is heartening, yet at the same time hilarious. In spite of how the actual movie turned out, Wiseau truly triumped. Long live, The Room. #WiseauFilms

As for the cinematic The Disaster Artist, outside of its magnificent central portrayal by the elder Franco, its strongest and occasionally most problematic elements revolve around the huge ensemble cast of familiar faces.

Franco, who’s absolutely hysterical as the brooding, deluded Wiseau, leads a parade of familiar faces...delivering a winning, Ed Wood-esque blend of comedy and pathos that could very well earn its own cult status.

From laugh to laugh — and there are many — you might question the target of the jokes, but that’s often because The Disaster Artist rarely works on one level: There’s meta humor, self-referential gags, and human reverence paid to the earnest pursuit of a Hollywood dream. Such are the layered joys of this exuberant — if surprisingly conventional — buddy comedy about the making of the worst movie of all time.
