The Disaster Artist - The Best Worst Film Ever

"You're really gonna make this thing?" - Greg Sestero

"No, Greg. We are going to do it. Together." - Tommy Wiseau

Tonight, with my girlfriend and a close friends of ours, a hilarious movie. It tells the story of two friends, and their dream to make a movie together. What follows is them producing a film so horrible, it has become famous because of how bad it is. I am speaking of course about The Disaster Artist.

Directed, produced and starring James Franco as Tommy Wiseau, Franco does a hilarious and disturbing job bringing Tommy to life on screen. Looking at clips from Wiseau's film The Room (part of the story of Disaster Artist), it is really quite frightening to see how strongly he emulates the character traits of Wiseau on camera. There are times one forgets that it is James Franco on camera.

Playing Tommy's friend and co-star Greg Sestero is Dave Franco. Greg's character is the straight man of the story. Like Tommy he wants to be a star and make movies. But where Tommy keeps trying to do all sorts of outrageous stuff on set (not knowing how story works or how movie-making happens), Greg is there to try and ground things. Seeing these two brothers working together and feeding off one another's energy is so much fun. They are their best co-stars on camera and it shows through their interactions and playing off one another.

Overall the entire cast does a fabulous job. Seth Rogen, Ari Graynor, Josh Hutcherson, Alison Brie etc. they all help contribute to the story and bring this crazy tale to life. There are even surprise cameo's from other famous faces, so keep those eyes open for them.

Something that made The Disaster Artist such a funny and refreshing piece was that IT'S ALL TRUE. This is based on a story of a movie that was actually made, and is so terrible it has been hailed as "Citizen Kane of bad movies". Because of its historical grounding, one would imagine that such a production means a movie about it would be equally as bad. And yet, as I said this is refreshing because there is such honesty and drive in it. Tommy doesn't let anything stand in the way of his vision becoming reality, not negativity, not anger from his cast/crew. He grabs for the stars and hangs on tight.

If anyone is looking for a movie that is going to bring lots of laughs, this is it. If they are looking for a movie that can inspire them, heck this is that too. Or if they want to see it just because they love James Franco, well then get ready for a whole lot of Franco on camera. Final analysis, a whooping 4 out of 4 stars to this laugh-fest about a movie that may be complete trash, but is still a heck of a story.
