Film Reviews

Do you like the Band Aid song ?

 

You wont after watching this

So before I go see The Disaster Artist tomorrow I thought I'd watch the original masterpiece.

In terms of actual plot to this movie I've no idea but here it goes Johnny (Tommy Wiseau- who in turn wrote,directed and produced the movie) is engaged to Lisa, the films starts with sprawl of San Francisco which will randomly appear again throughout the film to break up scenes with music in the background which wouldn't be out of place in a bad 80's porno. Talking of porno the next 20 minutes of the film involve 3 sex scenes between Johnny and Lisa, then Lisa and Johnnys best friend Mark who Lisa is having an affair with followed by some random dialogue which I can't remember or is actually pivotal to the film, following this the same sex scene which was shown before between Johnny and Lisa is shown again (supposedly Tommy Wiseau thought people wouldn't notice).

After all this there is more needless dialogue which again doesn't have anything to do with the narrative as Johnny, Mark and the the little weird kid Denny play Football on the roof after Denny was confronted by a Drug Dealer called Chris R. 

A lot of other stuff happens evidently Johnny overhears Lisa telling her mother (who earlier in needless dialogue had said she had cancer only to never talk of it again), she makes up lies about Johnny hitting her, BUT HE DID NOT, SHE IS LYING HE DID NOT HIT HER HE DID NOT. 

Johnny then talks to Mark who is his best friend. they go running and throw a football around in tuxedos for no reasons with Denny and another random character who in another scene Mark attempted to throw off the roof as he found out about his and Lisa's affair.

It eventually comes to an end when at a birthday party held for Johnny he confronts Lisa and Mark. he then trashes his house/room and then shoots himself.

PS I KNOW I JUST GAVE AWAY MAJORITY OF MOVIE BUT TBH THAT 2 MINUTE READ IS PROBABLY BETTER THEN WASTING 1HR 20 OF YOUR LIFE ACTUALLY WATCHING THE ROOM

In terms of 0 to 5 rating. 

I'd give it a 1 as it does have some laughs due to the terribleness of it. 

Shall throw up a review of The Disaster Artist tomorrow
