Zac Efron, oh how I love you so. You are a beautiful man and I can assume you have the soul of an angel. Your eyes are dazzling and your hair is perfection. Your voice makes me melt and your arms make me go weak. My expectations of how you are in real life are set so high, while my ability to say no to you is set so low. Your smile is charming and your abs make me go stupid, but your movies are progressively getting worse and it is breaking my heart.
Recently I watched Dirty Grandpa – If you haven’t already, please don’t. While there are some funny moments, it is one of those movies that just makes you question why you wasted two hours of your life and if you quite possibly lost brain cells from watching it. It is one of those “frat boy movies” full of booze, fart jokes, and a whole lot of story line missing. Major plus side – you get to see a lot of Zac’s perfectly chiseled body, including his perfect bottom. Major down side – You will never look at sweet Robert De Niro the same way again, in a very bad way.
The sad thing is, Dirty Grandpa isn’t the only bad movie Zac has done recently. From Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (that movie with an awesome cast and funny story line, but wasn’t funny and left you feeling awkward) to We Are Your Friends (that movie with Zac pretending to be a DJ and pretty much no story line), to the reboot of Baywatch (the movie that needs no explanation, it was just terrible), Zac has been making some terrible movie choices that is making me question what is going on with our favorite blue eyed beauty.
Please Zac, go back to your old, beautiful movie ways. I’m not asking you to take us back to High School Musical, but you do have some true musical talents as we saw in Hairspray. Maybe it is time to go back to your old roots and try a romantic comedy again? I’m just saying you were so charming in The Lucky One, sweeping a girl off her feet with a dog at your side. Don’t get me wrong, Neighbors was hilarious and well done, but what about I think I fell in love with you during That Awkward Moment and haven’t been able to let go of that charming bad boy that changed his ways to get the girl. Please just don’t forget your roots and why we fell in love with you!
Ultimate Ginger View: Hold off on the new Zac Efron movies, unless you want to be deeply disappointed and feel like wasting your precious life away. He is going through a little bit of a lull, but I feel like he has to have something good up his sleeve. Unfortunately, if that means that Zac will not be taking his shirt off to receive a quality movie, then so be it. While it will be painful to go a whole two hours of seeing him fully clothed, we will be able to get through it (And Google a shirtless picture of him later). Whatever the case may be, let us all hope that it is something better than Dirty Grandpa, the movie that has forever scarred me and my brain cells.
