The Disaster Artist Ratings & Reviews

Robert Daniels
The Room falls under the category of "so bad it's good." The Disaster Artist, directed by James Franco, looks to capture everything that went wrong, and a few things that miraculously went right.
Truthdig
Carrie Rickey
Franco's film is disappointing and more than a little patronizing.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Funny -- sometimes brutally -- and surprisingly touching, it works whether you've seen the source material or not, though there are plentiful shout-outs to die-hard fans.
Culturess
Kristen Lopez
Unlike its bosom buddy, Tim Burton's Ed Wood, it might be too niche a subject to resonate with mass audiences but it's evident Franco and crew are having a whale of a time.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Wiseau also makes a pretty good avatar for Franco himself: a mercurial, relentless performer whose ambition encompasses a thrilling willingness to crash and burn. And it's that identification that makes the comedy work here: Franco kids because he loves.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Disaster Artist" is a sweet, emotionally engaging tribute to friendship, the movies and the importance of dreams.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
The Disaster Artist should definitely first be seen in the theater, with a raucous crowd roaring with laughter. But later it should be seen at home where you can also observe the film's sneaky empathy and grace.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Franco delivers a comedy that's delightfully offbeat. It probably helps if you've actually seen "The Room," but you can safely spare yourself that experience.
NPR
Bob Mondello
[James] Franco has not just made a really sharp, funny movie about movie making. He's also made a layered and intimate portrait of a friendship with his own brother, Dave Franco.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"The Disaster Artist" is a lot of fun, even if some of it is uncomfortable. And of course it's way better than "The Room."
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The comedy, for all its scenes of giddy wonder, never gets past Tommy's mask of mystery; avoiding speculation and investigation, it stays on the surface of his public and private shtick, leaving little more than a trail of amusing anecdotes.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Fans of The Room will find much to love here, but even if you've never heard of it, The Disaster Artist should delight.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Even more impressively, Franco makes Wiseau, maybe the most unpleasant character he's ever played, someone you genuinely root for in his demented quest for greatness.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
By channeling his inner Tommy Wiseau, James Franco manages to craft an intentional comedic sensation out of an unintentionally hilarious failure, The Disaster Artist rising to a level of genuine greatness that's astonishing.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
By the end of The Disaster Artist, Wiseau is still a joke.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Franco gives Wiseau and his story the film he was not able to give himself.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
So, to see the machinations behind it - the never-ending takes, the adding of the water bottle, Wiseau's commitment to "real human behavior" - gives depth to what, on the surface, appears purely trash.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Franco follows the model of Tim Burton's biopic Ed Wood, approaching Wiseau with a delicate balance of affectionate mockery and a heartfelt appreciation for his creative passion.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
There's something joyful about the Franco brothers playing a fun-house mirror version of their own Hollywood arrival, and the film's best scenes are with Rogen's production manager, aghast at Tommy's incompetence.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Mr. Franco recreates the production of "The Room" - and the escalating behind-the-scenes nuttiness - with an assured, energetic touch ...
