Charlie Day's 'Fool's Paradise': A Hollywood Satire with a Sunny Twist

"Fool's Paradise" is a toothless Hollywood satire that fails to add anything new or insightful to the genre. Writer/director Charlie Day plays a man with no past who is renamed Latte Pronto and ascends in the industry with a fast-talking publicist by his side. The film is a cameo cavalcade of stars, but almost every character other than Day's is grotesquely annoying. The jokes fall flat, and the film has nothing to offer beyond stale caricatures of Hollywood personalities.
