A comedy and thriller movie that follows Jon Kortina, a handsome young tries to find a job to gain money. His fate makes him meet, Harvey Lewis, a weird mortician who gives him a job at his mortuary. They cooperate together and start to steal the golden things from the dead's teeth to gain much money.
To really enjoy this picture, one must require severe acclimatisation to the 'so bad it's good' style of filmmaking, the only discernible way to get the most out of Justin MacGregor's tame debut.
The cinematography is half-way decent, the performances that aren't Wiseau's are enjoyable in the traditional sense, and the film moves at a steady clip, with no issues in continuity or plot.
Los Angles lore is referenced but never pursued, and director Justin MacGregor leans into the piecemeal ludicrousness with stylised sequences that embrace self-deprecating mockery.
While it doesn't top the eccentricity of Wiseau's cult favorite, Best F(r)iends is written by a man who understands, probably more than anybody, the appeal behind The Room's creator.
Tone deaf at almost every turn, Best F(r)iends won't have the same legs as The Room but could offer a night of fun with some of your closest f(r)iends. It's terrible.
