Paul L’s Reviews > The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made > Status Update

Greg Sestero describes seeing the movie, The Talented Mr. Ripley for the first time. While seeing it, he draws many parallels with the movie and his life, specifically with his relationship with Tommy Wiseau. He feels that its characters are dealing with the same problems he is. Eventually, he and Tommy see it together, and Tommy is so wowed by the movie that it gives him the inspiration to create his own movie.

This book is about the making of the movie, The Room, which is often considered the funniest bad movie ever made. The author was supporting actor in the movie, and had become best friends with its director before it was made. Each chapter he alternates between two different stories, one of how he first met the director and his journey in Hollywood, and the other the process of making the movie.
