Leave your thoughts about The Disaster Artist.
| Hollywood NewsJoey MagidsonThe Disaster Artist causes so much pleasure it should be illegal in more conservative states. |
| CNN.comBrian LowryThe Disaster Artist -- James Franco's hyphenated turn as star, producer and director -- deftly falls into that comedic pantheon, joining the likes of Ed Wood in making an entertaining movie about a truly terrible one. |
| The Sun (UK)Jamie EastIt's one of the best, touching and funniest films you'll see this year - Franco will have some way to go before he can top this one. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis movie is seriously funny, surprisingly funny, not funny in a way that you ever decide to laugh, but funny like you couldn’t keep quiet even if you wanted to. The laughs, as they say, keep coming. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe Disaster Artist deserves to stand alongside Tim Burton's Ed Wood as an appreciation of someone whose creative enthusiasm somehow managed to shine through their total lack of talent. |
| We Live EntertainmentFred TopelGives you context to start and really makes you feel like you've seen the best parts of The Room, although I'm told it's all great. |
| HeyUGuysNathan McVayNothing this great has ever come from something so bad. A career-best performance from James Franco. |
| CBRKristy PuchkoFranco wants to have his cake and eat it too, openly mocking Wiseau for his weirdness, then heralding him for his persistence and ability to embrace The Room's reputation. |
| TheWrapSam FragosoAside from the undercurrent of pathos, it’s James Franco’s impeccable comedic timing that is the film’s ace in the hole. |
| CinemaBlend.comEric EisenbergEven if you've never heard of The Room, what James Franco has to offer here a fantastic, hilarious true Hollywood story that is as phenomenal as its subject matter is awful. |
