Major Movie Review: Palo Alto
4 February 2015
I first discovered this movie while scrolling on my Instagram. I follow James Franco and he would heavily promote this new,indie flick directed by GIA COPPOLA and starring EMMA ROBERTS.The big hook,or at least the only thing I heard people say about this movie was that it involved a story about a teacher getting intimately involved with a high school student.I shrugged thinking "Meh,whatevs,just another indie teen flick that revolves around some kind of touchy issue".PALO ALTO is actually a stand out and pretty real coming-of-age movie.

There are three main characters in this movie; Teddy,Fred,and April.Teddy(JACK KILMER) is a teenage stoner who spends his days with his promiscuous friend Fred(NAT WOLFF) partying hard and hooking up with girls.You know...high school.April is on the soccer team and has a lot going on in her head and in her personal life,most notably a too close for comfort relationship with her soccer coach(JAMES FRANCO).We see these kids go through many highs(literally😃) and lows and deal with the always rocky transition into adulthood. PLEASE,check out my full review for PALO ALTO on my Tumblr,link to that is in my InstaBio, and let me know what you think.How about you guys? Have you seen or even heard of PALO ALTO?What did you think?What's your favorite JAMES FRANCO movie? Drop a comment and LET'S TALK MOVIES!
