The Disaster Artist

“The Disaster Artist is pitched somewhere between star vanity project and reminder of what a gifted comedic actor it’s lead is, so think of it as something that encapsulates James Franco as a whole. It becomes something of an ego-stroking endeavor, as just about anything Franco touches inevitably does, and wants it both ways, to both laugh at and with its protagonist, but it’s still an accomplished little film in its own minor ways.   We hardly leave its main star, and if we do, it is to focus on Greg Sestero, played by Dave Franco, James’ younger brother. Yep, The Disaster Artist is both a family affair and an entertaining form of filmic masturbation as James Franco both pays tribute and parodies the making of a cult classic while clearly trying to pitch his own film as a ready fo” read more

“Franco has real traces of Wiseau, but has one foot well established on the normal side. The first sequence with him/Wiseau hommaging/mocking Brando screaming ¡Stella! in Streecar named desire, is priceless” read more

"Elokuva kertoo elokuvan tekemisestä Syy The Roomin katsomiseen oli tässä. Onnistuin tehtävässä, sillä nyt vaimoketta alkoi kiinnostaa Tommy Wiseau ja hänen visionsa. Avovaimo myös totesi lopuksi, että hänen tekee mieli katsoa The Room uusiksi. Näytin hänelle, että miellä on hyllyssä The Disaster Artist kirja, josta pidän itse kovasti. Leffana tämä toimi ihan hyvin, vaikka kirja on huomattavasti absurdimpi kokemus. Ei jaksa jupista sen enempää, mutta sanottakoon lopuksi, ett"

"19.1 Luojan kiitos Finnkinolle siitä, että tämä saatiin ennakkoesitykseen näinkin pian. Tämä meni Night Visionsissa itseltä ohi, mutta nyt sekin saatiin korjattua. James Franco tekee kauttaaltaan erinomaista työtä kääntäessään Greg Sesteron romaanin valkokankaalle, vaikka tämä onkin enemmän kertomus ystävyydestä, kuin sarjasta tragikoomisia yhteensattumia. Mitä nyt Franco muistuttaa peruukkeineen hieman enemmän Marvelin Lokia kuin transilvanialaista haudankaivaajaa. Franco"

"James Franco was great and the movie was really funny. The Room- scenes were done with care and looked "great" like in the original. Dave Franco's fake beard bothered me probably a bit too much throughout the second half. "

"December 10 "Tommy, dude, this really isn't necessary." "No, no! Very necessary. I need to show my ass to sell this picture." Now this was everything I was expecting it to be. It's a hilarious look at the making of The Room and the cast does a great job of bringing it to life. Most notably, James Franco as Tommy Wiseau who pulls off the role perfectly. From the way he does the voice to mimicking his over the top mannerisms, it was all great. I loved every minute of this film and if I had to "
