Sorry, this movie sucks

Actuakers

One of my all time favorites.

Console

best movie i've ever seen.

Suman Roberson

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Best F(r)iends was a bizarre, surreal experience, and I mean that in the most approving way possible. It's nice to see that Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero have crafted something truly original. I'm undeniably psyched to see Volume 2 this June! (Verdict: B+)

I must urge anyone coming in to watch this film, to watch it with friends. I can describe this film as nothing more than the spiritual successor to the room, equally as fun to poke fun of and to laugh at. This movie is in no way an actual quality movie like some of the other reviews imply. This movie transcends that. This movie transcends all other movies by becoming something that almost seems to make fun of all films really. It has overtly modern aesthetics in their shots that seem all too familiar, but the spin Best F(r)iends adds to it is that it's god awful like just about all overtly modern cinema, It's just more in your face in Best F(r)iends. It's every move seems to make fun of reality as a whole as well, making fun of odd idiosyncrasies (like having weird purple lights in the front of a car) that you could see in real life, by giving them to Tommy Wiseau's character, who is just as outlandish as his choices. It accidentally but brilliantly pokes fun at so many things that feel oddly true just by putting it in one of the most outlandish contexts ever made. This also happens to be home to many new hilarious dialogue pieces. Not in a way that's entirely true to The Room-esque nonsense. This new film instead finds more subtly ridiculous unnatural ways to say something and then combines it with an explosively bad inflection of voice or awful performance to back it up "buh-LACK and white movies". It also adds an extra layer of uncanny by fooling you into thinking the next scene would be normal and human, by showing us the normal and human poses the actors make. This trick quickly turns and shows you that there is no true human element to this film, simply all the more frightening by demonstrating a mask, as if it wants to hide from you. Not scared hide, like hunting hide. This consistent motiff reminds you to keep your guard up no matter what. It is in my firm belief that the woodenness of Greg Sestero and the outlandish inhumanity of Tommy Wiseau makes for one of the greatest cinematic pairings of all time; and that they could do no wrong making the most ridiculous films ever. But don't be fooled, this is not a The Room copy. This is a lot more subtle, especially compared to the outlandish soup drama like quality to the room. This is rather a brilliant twist on modern film. DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE.

On a technical level it feels like a sophomore student film. It's really not well shot in many scenes. But I'm going to say this movie was competently insane. I'd go on but I know that I couldn't put a review for this experience into actual words. 9/10.

It was ok. nothing really great about it or as memorable as the room. the best parts of the movie were the room references. they were very crafty and well placed. after that it was pretty blah. the production and acting were a little better but the plot lacked and i almost dozed off a few times. greg is definitely a talented guy but i really feel like he should let tommy write the scripts moving forward.
