He is downright dreamy, but he never plays the lead. Is he a bad actor??? Please, no!!!! Hollywood, just fix this already! Here, I've got a nice, vague, adaptable plot-line for a a movie starring Dave Franco as the protagonist:
Dave has some sort of personal struggle and has to learn more about himself for some reason or another. He gets the motivation to go on this quest of self-discovery because a beautiful and quirky girl says something brutally honest and incredibly profound. Duh, he asks her to accompany him on his quest, and duh, she says yes, because Dave is a total hottie, and she's not an IDIOT. And also because they are friends or whatever and intrigue each other and probably bring out the best in each other. So they go on this summertime adventure and lots of profound things are said and lots of romance blossoms. Oh, and there's probably something dark from his past that is threatening to overtake their happiness as a couple, but which they conquer together, like an ex-girlfriend, or maybe his dead dad who turned out not to be dead, or.......WAIT.
Or a total plot change: Maybe Dave and this girl had just started spending time together and somehow, they accidentally got tangled up with some criminals who are about to pull off an elaborate heist/drug sale/assassination (take your pick) and they told the police everything, so the criminals are chasing them and the police can't do anything to help them, and Dave's shirt probably gets burned off his body during some explosion that was supposed to kill him and his new girlfriend, but which instead just did us all a favor and allowed us to see Dave without his shirt while his miraculously unharmed girlfriend tends to his burn wounds, which is obviously going to evolve into a hot make-out scene where we forget that Dave was ever burned in the first place.
Wait. I got sidetracked. But it doesn't really matter. Just write him a movie and let him star in it! I submit that if we get to see Dave smoldering on the silver screen for longer than 30 seconds at a time, it is well worth our $8.00 to see the film. And I'll see it again. And again. And then buy the DVD. Hollywood is missing out on a huge opportunity!
This movie needs lots of cool filmography, probably showcasing him and the girl at a county fair (Ferris Wheel and cotton candy being requisite), a southern barbecue, an outdoor dance lit with little white lights, a beautiful lake with a picturesque dock that they jump off of into the water, them buying and slowly sipping fresh lemonade from the kids' stand down the street... just the perfect fun summer. A film that perfectly captures the carefree youthful feeling that comes from falling in love...and shows how love triumphs and can solve problems. Okay, yes. I realize that I just described a Nicholas Sparks film. So what? Dave would be perfect in one of those.
In short: We need more Dave Franco in our life ASAP.
