Rick Edwards, the astonishing star of Best F®iends Vol 2! His character, Uncle Rick, was so brilliantly disturbing. The real Rick turned out to be absolutely charming, hilarious and cool, the kind of person you immediately want to be friends with. (Or in @hannaakivilaa ‘s case, who she wants to be when she grows up 😃)

As I was the only person in the audience who had seen Best F®iends (and boy was I flexing on that with the shirt and everything 😆) I could discuss the films with him and when I told him I flew to London for the screenings, he called it “passion” ❤️. . Can’t wait to see the horror movie @gregsestero and him are making! .

Review : Best F(r)iends Volume Two

When I stumbled upon Best F(r)iends Volume One a couple of months ago, I knew it would be off the wall due to the Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero involvement, and I ended up pleasantly surprised.  Upon learning about Best F(r)iends Volume Two, I had no clue what to expect, and once again I was pleasantly surprised.  A handful of characters remain, new characters join the fold, and the madness you thought you had a hand on slips your grip and bolts off into the darkness.

Jon (Greg Sestero) and Harvey (Tommy Wiseau) find themselves at a breaking point for their newly formed friendship, with Jon feeling betrayed by Harvey over money, while Harvey feels betrayed due to their fractured connection.  Jon and Harvey struggle on the edge of a cliff, resulting in Harvey plummeting into the sea below.  With Traci (Kristen StephensenPino) in tow, Jon leaves Harvey for dead, making a beeline for Harvey’s novelty ATM safe.  Jon and Traci are unable to break into the safe, and while on the run, Traci calls in Rick (Rick Edwards), who is possibly her uncle but definitely trouble.  As the three slip deeper into trouble in the pursuit of the contents of the safe, trust is broken, friendships are tested, and lives are put in danger.

There is quite a bit to unpack here.  The film, rather than unfolding in a slow, mysterious, Los Angeles mystery style narrative like Volume One, is a Tarantino-esque deep dive into a vast array of influences, references and tropes.  Much of the film plays like a desert fever dream, with an interplay of an interrogation scene straight out of the brain of David Lynch.  Many of the film references are played for humor (Rick’s Dirty Harry quote is hysterical).  Most of the beats of the road movie, the heist movie and the trust-based drama/suspense film you would expect are hit, but with the skewed perspective of Sestero, Wiseau and company in full effect.

As a result, the entire tone of the film is different from Volume One to a wonderful effect.  Elements of the story that arch between the two films are resolved, and symbolic connections are made between characters to great effect.  Just enough of the first film is sprinkled into the proceedings to keep the two connected, but Volume Two is a much more confident and focused creature.  The characters introduced for the second film are well defined and have great chemistry with Sestero and StephensenPino.  

Greg Sestero is much more reserved in this go-round, bring a bit more leading man and a bit less offbeat actor to the proceedings.  Tommy Wiseau is unleashed for this film and allowed to be the vessel for many of the referential elements of the film.  Kristen StephensenPino is back in the mix, and this time she brings a sinister edge that was slightly hinted upon in the first film, but left unclear if that was just her personality or a choice.  Rick Edwards plays the main protagonist like a country version of a Bond villain, even down to monologuing at key moments.

If you’re a diehard fan of Sestero and Wiseau, seek this film out.  It is a very grand and symbolic retelling of the friendship that has developed between the two men as well as where they fit into the Hollywood spectrum.  For anyone who thought that The Room and its success was a fluke, the Best F(r)iends series brings more intrigue to the table.

Friendship Before Money. Two men, a drifter and an eccentric mortician strike up a friendship and start a less than legit business partnership. Interesting to see Greg’s attempt at writing a movie, it felt art house-y, B-movie-ish, but of a better budget and production quality than The Room. Aside from the trailer and that Greg wrote it, I knew almost nothing about it going into it. Apparently it’s based on a story from one of their road trips, and Greg thought there was “a performance within Tommy and the right team could pull it out of him”, that Wiseau “deserved a role to shine in, free of the exploitation that others had thrust upon him in his post-Room-on-screen appearances over the years.” (an interview w/the MacGregors for hiddenremote.com) Also according to that interview they filmed in 25+ locations in 3 states (whoa) and 4 people (the brothers, Greg and one other person who wasn’t Wiseau) made all the decisions, sometimes on the fly. The spiral staircase in this volume is an unintentional nod to The Room, as I believe are the line “Oh Hai, Jon” and the conversation over throwing a basketball back and forth, though they intended to make it with no connections to the The Room. “This is not a sequal, prequel, or alternative universe for Johnny and Mark.”(hiddenremote.com interview) It was definitely interesting and had a sort of surreal ending (which keeps the interest in Volume Two up) that seemed dream-like? We’ll have to see. I wonder why Jon was mute/silent in the beginning and who’s blood(?) was on his hands? How much of Harvey’s lines were adlibbed? Also Jon’s eyes moved around too much, which was a bit unsettling. There was 100% more Wiseau singing and Brett Favre headshots than I thought there’d be. I hope they include another music video with the second one! #ssmovieof2018 #comedy #thriller #TommyWiseau #KristenStephensonPino #VinceJolivette #PaulScheer #RickEdwards #TomBissell (who wrote The Disaster Artist with Greg!) #HarryBraxtonDavis (the flashbacks to young Jon looked like they were from the 50’s) #DavidSestero writer: #GregSestero director: #JustiacGregor movie of 2018 number 10) #BestFriendsVolumeOne
