When we found out the other day that Justin Timberlake is in talks to star in The Last Drop, a dramedy about an alcoholic New York Magazine food critic forced to choose between booze buffets and the girl of his dreams, we were hoping our own Adam Platt would step up to the plate and show the arguably versatile actor the incognito lifestyle ropes, and today at Vulture, Platt sets out some guidelines for the would-be restaurant reviewer. First, lose the smile, he says. More naps and high calorie intakes are also part of the process. Platt doesn’t say anything about spontaneous sexy dancing in the streets, so that must be okay.
