Pretty fascinating "based on a true" story about an oft-overlooked part of the space race. It follows a common formula for biographical, historical feed-good movies. It would have been nice if it had tried to break the mold a bit more. But it's quite charming at times. And it's good family entertainment. 4 out of 5 stars

She was just a girl from a rough background who found her true calling and passion. It's sad t...

I stopped this movie half way through because I felt like I needed to watch the film that it was based on, The Room. The Room is one of the worst movies ever made. And I am glad I did that. To truly appreciate The Disaster Artist, it's best to have some context. In the "Making Of" doc, Franco mentions wanting to retain the passion and emotion of Tommy Wiseau and his movie. And ...
