Yash B "Best F(r)iends: Volume 2" continues the bizarre story right where "Volume 1" leaves off. I feel like this movie is a step down that quickly becomes pretty boring and a movie where not a whole lot happens. I think there is some creativity on display, but it's missing what made the first one kind of fun. I never thought I would say this about a movie, but Tommy Wiseau's presence is missing in this one. I feel like he brought a lot of fun and wackiness in the first movie that is almost nonexistent here. Overall, I am glad I checked these movies out, but if I ever went back and watched one again, it would be the first one, simply to enjoy Tommy and Greg interacting again. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Admittedly, Best F(r)iends' first part ended on a decent-enough cliffhanger but it honestly seems like the ending I'd expect more out of a series rather than a low-key film whose main selling point is the return of those two guys from The Room. Seems odd. And yet Volume 2, like with many Part 2s of movies I've seen, is superior to the first part. Tommy Wiseau's performance fits perfectly with his characterisation, legitimately well-executed moments of suspense and an ending that's definitely quite a bit...shall we say...out there. As a whole this Wiseau/Sestero collaboration is a unique achievement that, for its weirder moments, arguably fulfils its purpose as the two-part "epic" that shows there's more to Wiseau than just some commercials from 2000, The Room and his indecipherable accent. It's not "so bad, it's good" but what's wrong with actually being somewhat decent and competent sometimes? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I was very surprised how good the 2nd part was! I couldn't predict itâ(TM)s story line so great job there, it was beautifully shot with class, better soundtrack, very watchable, not something I could stop watching. Seeing him and his cast improving so much is very inspiring. I would not be surprised if his next film is even better. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable only because it is comically bad. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/24/18 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and not in a good way a la The Room. It doesn't even feel like the same world as Part I and Wiseau is largely absent from this hackneyed robbery caper. Sestero has the charisma of a stoned Ashton Kutcher and the female lead seems to have no acting ability whatsoever. Through in a creepy "uncle" and you've essentially go the plot of this worthless vanity project. See Part I and leave it at that. (Note: I've heard rumors that Part I and II will be recut into one film. Not sure how this would work since there's basically nothing worthwhile in this chapter.) Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Within the poor acting, editing, and direction, there is, somewhere, the makings of a decent movie with a lot of heart. This is basically a love letter from Greg Sestero to Tommy Wiseau, an expression of gratitude to a man who one might not think deserves it. The excruciatingly slow setup of Part 1 has some payoffs in Part 2, a movie that has quite a few moments of genuine tension, and Wiseau's "Harvey" is (because it's Wiseau) eccentric enough to be forgiven, even as he's wearing a shiny knight's helm or a latex Sestero mask. This movie is not really for anyone. It's a passion project, the way "mother!" was one for Darren Aronofsky. It is a personal story from the heart, and with adustments, can be refashioned into a story that might be worth watching.
