The Informant

That fine wine in the making known as Zac Efron is reeling in his efforts to grow up.

On screen, that is – at least a little bit (since The Paperboy didn’t quite work the way he was probably hoping it would).

So the actor is going to play the titular Narc in this new movie about a frat house president – another one! – and lacrosse team captain who starts helping the police bust criminals after he is arrested for possession with intention to sell.

See, this way, Efron can attract his core audience while stretching himself, showing some range.

Clever young man. Hot clever young man.
