Ratings and reviews

I never liked James Franco in anything until this movie. He played a great role as Tommy Wiseau's character. The movie follows his friend Greg, and he's very like-able played by Dave Franco. It's a movie about an epically cringe movie, so it has a ton of cringey moments. It may be hard to watch at parts, but you really don't have to watch the movie that closely to follow it well enough. Seth Rogan played a great role in this. It didn't feel like a movie propped up by the fact that all the actors are friends, but it felt like a fairly touching comedic tale of the cult classic The Room, and how it has lived on. Worth the $5 rental.

The movie is amazing, but my experience watching it has sucked. I bought this tonight to watch with my fiance and at about 37 minutes in it freezes and gives an error. I now have to go to comcast and rent it on there to finish watching it. Hooray for having to pay for something I cant watch!

This is a cult following movie. If you see this title and it's not familiar then keep looking. This movie isn't good unless you already know and like the real life parts.
