I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Best F(r)iends is an emotional roller coaster ride. The movie is packed to the brim with absurdity, dark humor, romance, love, betrayal. Everything required for an excellent film. Fans of The Room will not be disappointed. It does hold up as a legitimate film.

This film is way wackier than The Room on terms of sanity, it's written by Greg Sestero and he did a great job with it. I saw it at an event with Tommy and Greg live and it had the whole audience in hysterics. Although, we did only watch a 'preview cut' for it and I was rather disappointed to not see some of the scenes that I've viewed in the trailers online. Tommy is crazier than ever in this and is more like you'd imagine him in real life which is a pretty stellar depiction of what he is actually like. It started off slow and I was getting a bit bored but it picked up quickly. It's truly cinematic despite being filmed on a 'small' budget. The sets look great and the story is original. This is really a film where you can see the friendship of Greg and Tommy flourish. I look forward to seeing the theatrical version in hopes that some of the funny scenes from the trailer like Tommy smearing Vaseline over Greg's face makes the cut. If you love Tommy Wiseau, you'll love this!

On the 9th of September, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau did a Q&A before the test screening of Best F(r)iends. A man got up and asked Sestero what inspired him to write the film. He replied that he felt no one had given Tommy the right part to play. He also told us not to expect The Room, and so I watched the film with a blank slate and tried not to make any assumptions.Best F(r)iends right from the beginning is a superb. Straight from the start, you are thrown into an emotional roller-coaster. Jon (Sestero) is homeless and is looking for money. Harvey (Wiseau) sees him from his car day after day and eventually offers him an unusual job. The two form an unlikely friendship. I will not spoil more than that, only to say that the film is much more complex than my simple summary and has so many different layers and a surprising story. What Sestero has written is truly original and unlike any film I have seen before, and when Sestero said he wanted to write the right role for Wiseau, he surely succeeded in doing so. What he's written is a work of art. It is coherent and it is beautiful.Forget what you may have thought about them from The Room: the characters in Best F(r)iends are utterly convincing and show two different but very real sides of humanity. Both Sestero and Wiseau's acting is phenomenal, gripping, and realistic. MacGregor's directing is fantastic. The filming and scenery is gorgeous.You will finish the film and you will want more.

This film is nuts. It starts off slowly. Jon (played by Greg "O hai Mark" Sestero) is a drifter who stumbles upon Harvey (Tommy "I'm fed up with this wurld" Wiseau). Harvey gives him a job for a day. The next day Jon comes back to Harvey for a full-time job. Little does Harvey know that Jon is going to betray him by selling bags of Harvey's gold teeth. What a story Mark (I mean Jon).I saw the UK premiere of the extended cut and the audience was going crazy. There were a few references to The Room and whenever they happened the audience applauded with frenzy. It's not The Room, and I'm not going to compare them as others will do this. I will say that if you want an entirely unique viewing experience which will make you laugh at the poor/legendary acting and scratch your head with bewilderment, this is the film. Best Friends is very good, and it is very bad, so it's impossible to give it a legitimate score with the usual ranking system. As stupid as this sounds, it's true, so I'll be interested how critics approach Best Friends on it's release. The 9/10 is for the experience I had while watching it. It really is awesome to see Tommy and Greg acting again opposite each other, so this should not be missed.
