James Franco’s latest film, ‘Love, Lies & Frank,’ is being critically panned, adding to the challenges he faces in attempting a career comeback. The negative reception comes amidst past controversies surrounding interactions with a minor.
Franco’s career began to experience difficulties in 2014 when a 17-year-old girl shared Instagram messages from the then-35-year-old actor. These messages revealed Franco attempting to persuade her to meet him at his hotel, despite being aware of her age. At the time, Franco responded to the situation by stating he “used bad judgment.”
The controversy resurfaced in 2018, though the Variety article does not detail the specifics of that renewed attention. The current negative reviews of ‘Love, Lies & Frank’ suggest that Franco’s attempt to rehabilitate his public image through his work is not proving successful, as critics describe his performance in the film as lackluster.
