Skinny and animated, with a mop of brown curls, Morris is equal parts charming and helpless, for he immediately draws the audience in with his panicked anxiety and confusion about his sudden imprisonment. It seems impossible that such a charismatic and haphazard individual could pen horrific tales of child murder, or suffocate his parents with pillows at the age of 14, but Morris skillfully captures the chiaroscuro of his character’s vulnerability and violence...

...though he's now of legal drinking age, Efron is 17 again. Not that it's a stretch for him to play someone four years younger. He still has the mop top, the downy skin and the sensuous sanctity of the boy every mother wants her daughter to bring home - if he weren't dating his dimpled co-star from High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens.
