You're Tearing Me Apart, Franco!

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2019)

As I watched James Franco yowling "STELLA!" at the top of his lungs in a painfully pathetic impersonation of Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire", juxtaposed by Dave Franco's expression of utter amazement, I found I was beside completely myself with laughter. Overall, this is a pretty decent film with some absolutely hysterical moments with a surprisingly realistic look at the world of indie filmmaking. I do think the third act suffers a bit from what seems like "Romantic Comedy Syndrome" ie. a predictable friendship separation/ reunion storyline which kind of made the whole thing a bit too hokey for me.
