So James Franco played himself in this


And I enjoyed his super realistic performance. Very creepy, slightly hot. I felt attracted to him and disgusted by him at the same time.

LOL! Yes!

Yep. I was all like oh he is cute and in the next scene I was like he's so disgusting. That's why I like Dave Franco.

It's based on a book which James Franco wrote about his and friends lives growing up in Palo Alto so I know what you're getting at (although I think that could have been a publicity stunt to get interest in the movie) but he would more likely have been either Jack Kilmer or Nat Wolffe (or a combination of both) growing up.
