Over the weekend I watched A Million Little Things, based on a book by James Frey. It was ALLEGEDLY the story of his time in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Several years ago, it was chosen as an Oprah Book Club selection until it was revealed that, while Frey was in rehab, it wasn’t an autobiographical story as he’d pitched, but was a great deal of fiction. I remember Oprah taking Frey to task on her show for duping her …perhaps he gave her the book with a doughnut to trick her, I dunno.
Anyway, the movie; pretty harrowing depiction of drug use and rehab, but it starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as James Frey. I thought he was quite good in the film, and it didn’t hurt that he was, even with a banged-up face, kinda hot, and that he appeared fully nude, and in spectacular glory, in several scenes.
Seriously. Spectacular!
