For any fans of that surprisingly popular piece of shit called "The Room", we have James Franco directing a movie about him playing Tommy Wiseau.
The Room has to be seen to be believed. Franco nails it.

But The Disaster Artist is an exception to that, in fact I really loved them in this movie.
Seen this at the cinema and picked it up for home media.
I think the key to this movie was making sure we didn't laugh at or make a fool of the character of Tommy Wiseau but instead laugh with him and join in with what drives him. I like how they present the character and even his ugly side without making a judgment on him.
A well done production overall and I can imagine it's a strange phenomenon to cover a movie that is funny because it's regarded as bad and make a movie out of that which is genuinely funny, heartfelt and kind of sweet.
