SYNOPSIS
The film is based on Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell's non-fiction book of the same name
Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero become friends after meeting each other in an acting class in San Francisco. Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in Tommy’s new project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a movie that becomes a cult classic – for all the wrong reasons.
REVIEW SUMMARY
"This film expertly mixes hilarity with heart. James Franco IS Tommy Wiseau as he seriously embodies the man in every way. Weird in all the right ways, the Disaster Artist is well worth the watch whether you've seen The Room or not."
