Review: After having seen The disaster artist, I had to watch its main subject: The room. From all the hilarious scenes from the disaster artist, we (I watched it with the group of Sneakers) all knew some scenes and by seeing these coming, we were already laughing in stitches! The story is very basic as and even if according to The disaster artist it was not supposed to be a porn movie, almost the half of the film is in bed with explicitely lascivious songs. The main originality is the atmosphere, extremely cheap but taken seriously. Cheap in the sense that the story is simple and quite boring, the acting is not good, the dialogues are hilarious cos ridiculous and that all this seems to have been done not on purpose. Indeed the light and the camera are fine. I am not sure to have liked the movie or even to have had the patience to go beyond the first bed scene, if I would not have expected some scenes of extreme (bad, funny, as you want) acting. On the other side it is quite fascinating to manage to make so many products with so few content. I must admit, I watched the first episodes of the series The neighbors, that is like a bad telenovela but that has something fascinating like a "I could make it as well"-effect.
