"Fool's Paradise": A Review Roundup of Charlie Day's Directorial Debut.
TL;DR Summary
In Charlie Day's directorial debut "Fool's Paradise," a man with no talent becomes a movie star in a scattershot Hollywood satire. The film features a star-studded cast including Adrien Brody, Ray Liotta, John Malkovich, Kate Beckinsale, and Common. However, the film's grab bag of jokes and weak attempt at a tragic arc for one of the characters make it a disappointing effort. Despite this, Day's performance as a passive, nearly silent actor is grudgingly admirable.
