Writ: Dean Georgaris
- James Franco - Tristan

I’m going to admit that I was looking forward to this film. Which is strange, because I didn’t expect it to be good. I even expected to be annoyed by the Irish accents. And you know what, I was right. I enjoyed it despite its flaws. Of course its main flaw was Mr. Franco, or maybe it was just the character of Tristan. He was a div. Total and utter div. Which of course meant that the whole romance aspect just didn’t work.
Maybe you want a basic plot outline?
