Yash B It's hard to know how I feel about "Best F(r)iends: Volume 1." I don't think it is necessarily a good movie but sometimes it is well made and it really is fun to see Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero on screen again. I think the highlights of the movie are just seeing the two of them interacting, knowing the backstory of the cult phenomenon that is "The Room." I think by the time it ends the story does become a bit interesting, even though a lot of it leading up to it can be a bit slow-paced and bleak. Overall, it is an interesting project that while not necessarily good, is worth checking out for fans of "The Room." Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Jordan Y Loved this. If you're expecting The Room, don't. That is not what this film is despite sharing two of the actors. However the many parallels between Tommy and Greg's relationship that might go unnoticed to the average viewer, is what makes this film such a gem. Tommy is incredibly charming in this and this role truly allowed him to shine as an actor. Greg definitely delivered and can't wait to see more from him. Would definitely recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A more objectively well-made movie than The Room, Best F(r)iends features a Tommy Wiseau performance that fits his eccentric nature better, is arguably shot better than the actual ironic masterpiece Mr. Wiseau directed and its plot and dialogue don't have that same "point and laugh" approach that film did. Of course, it's still bizarre, Greg Sestero seems miscast in his role as a homeless dude, a few callbacks to my favourite "so bad, it's good" movie don't really work since this is meant to be a completely different film. One could argue this two-parter is, in a strange way, inferior to The Room simply because it's better crafted and lacking in that film's quotability, but it is nice to see this strange ambiguously Polish man of a vague age and a guy who's probably his only friend, judging by The Disaster Artist autobiography working with each other again. Not exactly sure what this movie has to gain from being a two-parter. Could've sworn those died out after what happened with Divergent. But this isn't a big mainstream blockbuster movie, so what do I know? I'm just bummed out I didn't strike while the iron was hot and see this movie shortly after it came out. Better late than never, I suppose. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Tommy Wiseau is a strange unorthodox person.....which makes him the perfect person to play the character of Harvey. This movie is so strange that you don't really know who to root for but you also can't help but turn away from just how strange this movie is. If you're looking for a straight forward drama you're in for a bad time. If you want a very subjective film with unforgetable (even for the wrong reasons) moments, then best f(r)iends is the film for you! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Dont expect this movie to be humorous. It's an interesting thriller with pararels to Greg Sesteros early relations with Tommy Wiseu Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review john m If you can will yourself through the genuine "actually trying to be a film" parts, which aren't any better than what you would see from some amateur freshman low-budget student film, scenes with Tommy are absolutely fuckin hilarious. My fear was that Tommy knows what people want to see in him now and he would just try to embrace that, but he's actually trying to act again here as traditionally as he wanted to in "The Room" and is barely able to stay awake through takes. It's a hard film to get through (I only watched the first part, that's all I need) and there's absolutely no redeeming values from this other than watching Tommy try to figure out what he's doing on film sets still.
