It was a lot of fun. Find it hard to believe the academy will give James Franco playing Tommy Wiseau an Oscar over Daniel Day Lewis's last performance, but stranger things have happened I guess.
I left before the credits ended, what did I miss?

I left before the credits ended, what did I miss? They may have added things since I first saw it, but... {Spoiler}Side by side comparisons of the actual scenes vs Disaster Artist takes on those scenes. Seems like there was a gag reel or two in there.

I left before the credits ended, what did I miss? I highly recommend seeing it again and not reading this spoiler, but... {Spoiler} Franco as Tommy has a scene (that appears improved) with Tommy as a busboy at a Hollywood party. It lasts like 5 minutes but is hilarious to see dueling Tommys.

Likely wasn’t there when I screened it pre-fall. I don’t always get the finished product. About 1/4 of the time, the titles even change.

Got my ticket for this.
Seeing it IMAX, too, because why not, right?
Yeah, I know, of all the movies to even be in IMAX...

It was really good. James Franco gave a good performance as Tommy Wiseau but obviously nothing can compare to the original. I found he overacted a couple of times. Most notably during the infamous rooftop scene ("I did not hit her, I did NAAAAAAAUGHT...oh, hai Mark") but he still gave a great performance. As did all the other actors and actresses, who did great jobs at being terrible actors.
There wasn't much drama or tension save for one portion towards the end. It was mostly about seeing James Franco play Tommy Wiseau and the overall mystique of Tommy Wiseau. There were a few times where your heart really went out to him and a few where you're like "what an asshole".
It was a labor of love for James Franco and I think it paid off.
9/10

So for the wide release BOM says just out in 840 theaters Kind of low ain't it I wouldn't think so. This always aimed to be a cult classic rather than a major release. It's a movie about the making of a relatively obscure movie that is probably more well known for the memes than on its own merit - the majority of people going to see it are fans of Franco and people already aware of Tommy's wacky antics.

Considering the critical buzz it has been getting, I'm a little surprised by this. I live roughly 20 minutes away from two movie theater chains, and it wasn’t playing in one of them, which I was not expecting. Luckily I searched online before heading there.
