Falls Short

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2018)

An amusing performance by James Franco is not enough to overcome the shortcomings of the film. At least not in so much as to make this Oscar-worthy--I really don't understand the hype for this film. Dave Franco turns in a wooden, high-schoolish performance that drove me up a wall. Constantly pulled me out whenever he was onscreen--and he was onscreen a lot. Diverting, but ultimately disappointing, and quickly forgotten.
