Justin Timberlake doesn't quite hit the right note in new movie 'Palmer', out on Apple TV+ on 29 January.

Eddie Palmer (Timberlake), a former college sports star, returns to his hometown after a stint in prison. His grandmother Vivian (June Squibb) cares for a little boy who irks Eddie and lives next door, named Sam (Ryder Allen). Sam isn't like other boys. He plays with dolls, wears a clip in his hair, and dresses up like a fairy princess for Halloween. When Sam comes into Eddie's care, after his mother leaves without a word, the two form a bond. Eddie also grows close with Sam's teacher, Maggie (Alisha Wainwright).

"It won't garner awards attention, but there are fleeting moments when [Timberlake] evokes something extraordinary. It's a shame that his expression just seems blank most of the time. Once the singer can set aside the time from his music career, it'd be worth him finding an acting mentor, because there's something there."
