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.

"Fool's Paradise": A Review Roundup of Charlie Day's Directorial Debut.

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.

Chris Pratt's Italian accent in Super Mario Bros. movie draws criticism.

Chris Pratt, who voices Mario in the upcoming "Super Mario Bros. Movie," revealed that his initial take on the character's voice was too much like a "Sopranos" parody.

Despite criticism over the casting of non-Italian actors, producer Chris Meledandri defended the choices and promised that Pratt's performance will win over critics.

The actors eventually settled on warmer voices for Mario and Luigi. Pratt explains that crafting a 90-minute narrative with an emotional through-line for the beloved video game characters was a daunting challenge. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is now in theaters.
