Palo Alto is a 2013 American drama film written and directed by Gia Coppola, based on James Franco's short story collection Palo Alto (2010). Franco stars, along with Emma Roberts, Jack Kilmer, Nat Wolff and Zoe Levin. Jack Kilmer's father, Val Kilmer, stars as Stewart, Emma Roberts's stepdad.
Teddy (Jack Kilmer) and his best friend Fred (Nat Wolff) are two stoner teenagers. April (Emma Roberts) is at soccer practice when her friends laugh about their coach Mr. B (James Franco) having a crush on April. Mr. B asks April if she can babysit his son Michael and he then offers her the position of striker. Fred and Teddy walk back to their car talking about what they would do if they got in a drunk driving accident. Teddy says he would drive away even if it was his crush, April.
At a party, Teddy invites April to the graveyard with him and Fred. The two hold hands as they run to the graveyard. April carves a heart into the tree and the two bond. They head back to the party and drink alcohol with all the other guests. Teddy goes outside to throw up when Emily (Zoe Levin) takes him to the bathroom to get mouthwash. April sees Teddy and Emily head upstairs and gets jealous. April starts talking to Ivan (Andrew Lutheran), who tries to flirt with her. Teddy and Emily kiss and she gives him a blowjob. Teddy goes outside to have a cigarette but gets upset when he sees April kissing Ivan. He and Fred leave the party and get into a car accident. Teddy quickly drives away but blames Fred for the accident as he spoke about it earlier. A police officer arrives at Teddy's house and arrests him for driving under the influence.
