No idea how to rate this or what to say. Each chapter toggles between on set production of the making the movie The Room and the author's real life relationship with Tommy Wiseau. The writing is fine and goes at a fun clip. I feel like…

I'll admit that I laughed, groaned and sneered along to The Room, Tommy Wiseau's famous vanity movie. But there is much more to both the movie and man than appears on the surface. The Disaster Artist is the story of two aspiring actors who…

Much, much better than either " The Room " or James Franco's film of the same title. The book is funny and honest about the psychopath who had no clue how to make a movie. the author hints heavily that Wiseau was ( is? ) involved in some…

Recommended that you read this book after seeing the original movie "The Room" or at least one of the review videos of the movie. This memoir was an insight into the making of one of the best worst movies ever made. It was as baffling,…

This deep dive into the making of "The Room," the best worst movie ever, provides a fascinating account of the set and a glimpse into the mysterious life of Tommy Wiseau, the man behind the film. An engaging story that is…

If you have seen the James Franco movie, reading the book will feel really redundant. They ripped the pages from the book and put them directly on the screen for your convenience. I've never seen The Room, so the cult nature of the…

The Disaster Artist - the movie - seems to have gotten shelved too early, possibly due to the involvement of James Franco and the whole #metoo brouhaha. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it highly. It's comedy of the highest order as…

The book, about a movie, that was just made into a movie... Simply put, "The Disaster Artist" is a great book. Author Greg Sestero tells the story of the making of the cult phenomenon, "The Room." While the behind the scenes look at…

As a lover of the film "The Room", the book completely enthralled me! I couldn't put it down. I loved seeing a behind-the-scenes account leading up to and during the production of "The Room". Tommy is such a character on and off the…

Some years ago, legendary film critic Ken Begg opined that the only way a truly great bad movie can be produced in an era of homogenization, market studies and test audiences is as a vanity project. The Room is certainly delightfully…

This is an intriguing portrait of a bizarre man wrapped in a hilarious memoir about one of the worst movies ever made, a literary turducken. I loved it!

Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" has become this generation's "Plan 9" and "Rocky Horror Picture Show." A fixture at Cinema 21, "The Room" really has to be seen to be believed, as it defies all description and logic. In "The Disaster Artist,"…
