James Franco admits his movie ‘sucks’

By Tribute on May 15, 2013 | 4 Comments


James Franco is a busy, in-demand demand. He’s already starred in two movies this year – Oz The Great and Powerful and Spring Breakers – and will soon be back in theaters in The Iceman and This Is the End. Among the wealth of projects he’s worked on in his career, there are sure to be a few bad apples – and Franco apparently isn’t afraid to point them out. During a recent interview with GQ, he admitted, “Your Highness? That movie sucks. You can’t get around that.” It’s an interesting comment, considering Franco wants to do a second Pineapple Express movie with Seth Rogen; both the vulgar comedy Your Highness and the first Pineapple Express were directed by David Gordon Green. Earlier in the year, Franco dissed the movie Annapolis and upset the director of that movie, Justin Lin. There’s no word yet on Green’s reaction to Franco’s admission to GQ but, if the director doesn’t share his opinion, it certainly won’t help the case for Pineapple Express 2. Don’t burn your bridges too quickly, Mr. Franco. ~Cassie Jasinski

    He also thought Planet of the Apes would suck, but it was a fantastic version! Meh, everyone has their favourites that they were in. Maybe it’s also a reflection on his own acting or presense in the movie?

    Why does he keep picking projects that suck than? Maybe its him.

    I love Your Highness! That movie is hilariously stupid but hilarious non the less. I like when actors do stupid sh*t like that, it makes then seem more relatable. That is definitely a stoner movie, right up there with Pineapple Express.
