Review of Good Time Max (2008) by Joe L — 16 Jul 2009
This is the complete opposite of Pineapple Express, another drug film Franco was in. The film takes a look into Max's life, a very intelligent man who went down the wrong road and into the drug world.
When his brother Adam moves to California to start residency at a local hospital, Matt tags along hoping to make his life better and get away from the drugs after he went through a not so pretty encounter with a drug lord.
He gets a job and is getting back on the right track but soon he's back to the drugs and it's worse than ever. Now being isolated from his own brother in town, Max is hitting the lowest point ever.
His brother Adam however isn't exactly coming to be drug free as he stays at the hospital longer. The film shows greatly the emotional and horrid effects of staying on drugs and how it affects others around you.
James Franco does a great job directing this piece but also really shines as the main star.
