Flag Day

SEAN PENN’S FLAG DAY HAS LITTLE TO CELEBRATE

Sean Penn and his daughter Dylan looked really happy just a few weeks ago at The Cannes Film Festival when their father-daughter movie Flag Day premiered. Their festive mood didn’t last long- Cannes reviewers had nothing good to say about the film, calling it torpid, drab, ponderous, and grandiose. Just five years ago Sean debuted his film The Last Face at Cannes and the audience alternately laughed out loud and booed- declaring the film the “worst” at Cannes. So he probably wasn’t surprised. If this film doesn’t make money, at least it might give Dylan’s acting career a boost…

SEAN PENN’S REAL KIDS PLAY HIS KIDS IN “FLAG DAY”

Sean Penn has been helping people with his CORE charity since 2010 so it makes sense that he’d get around to giving his kids a career boost. He directed and stars in Flag Day, which just screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Dylan Penn, 30, and Hopper Penn, 27, both look excited to be there with their father. (Dylan inherited good looks from her mother Robin Wright) The film is based on a true story about a father leading a double life as a con man/crook so he can take excellent care of his daughter. Hopper plays his estranged son. Both Dylan and Hopper have been working on assorted projects of their own, but this film should open more doors in Hollywood for them.
