The film 'The Drama,' starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, has encountered significant backlash over a controversial plot point revealed prior to its wide release. The dark romantic comedy, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, centers on an engaged couple playing a game that involves confessing past wrongdoings.
Zendaya's character reportedly admits to having planned a school shooting but ultimately abandoning the idea. This narrative element has drawn sharp condemnation, particularly from Tom Mauser, the father of a victim from the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Mauser described the use of such themes in a romantic comedy as "awful."
