That is, in no particular order: singing (about friendship and dreams and stuff); dancing (of the summer-stock Fosse variety) and two separate scenes featuring Zac Efron in a white undershirt (OMG!).]]> http://eyeweekly.com/film/thisjustin/article/43453 2008/10/24 http://eyeweekly.com/film/thisjustin/article/43453 http://eyeweekly.com/film/thisjustin/article/43254 2008/10/23 http://eyeweekly.com/film/thisjustin/article/43254 http://eyeweekly.com/film/film/article/43157 2008/10/22 http://eyeweekly.com/film/film/article/43157 Max Payne is more of a failed con job: how else to describe the fleeting early notion that it might raise the bar on movie adaptations of videogames.
