The Paperboy

Zac's performance reviews

Quote:The 24-year-old Efron, as the young man who loves her, finally gets the chance to prove that he is more than a pair of pretty blue eyes and a set of rock-hard abs; he rises to the occasion, digging up a note-perfect performance, by turns teasing, heartfelt, and heartbroken. His sexy, offbeat chemistry with Kidman is a (guilty) pleasure to behold.

Quote:Zac Efron is very good as the sad, motherless boy, whose only friend is the family's stoical maid Anita, nicely played by Macy Gray.

Quote:One observer is Jack (Zac Efron), the reporter’s blue-eyed baby brother, who delivers the film’s most touching performance.

Quote:#Cannes‬: Kidman plays delusional barbie doll in 'Paperboy,' Lee Daniels' strong followup to 'Precious.' Efron's acting amazing in movie.

Quote: I seem to be in the minority, but I didn't mind The Paperboy. Best thing Kidman, McConaughey, Efron & Cusack have done in a while. ‪#Cannes

"Most critics have dismissed the film as a disaster, although no one is denying Kidman tackles her role nicely. With a scene where Kidman urinates on Efron's face, this movie is going to have to be seen to be believed." --Emily Cegielski, Backstage

You should probably wait til the movie comes out and you actually see it before making that kind of assumption. I think one reviewer mentioned it briefly, could be wrong though, but I think so.
