Fool's Paradise is a satirical comedy following a down-on-his-luck publicist (Ken Jeong), who gets his lucky break when he discovers a man recently released from a mental health facility (Day) looks just like a method actor who refuses to leave his trailer. With the help of a powerful producer (the late Ray Liotta), Ken helps the man become a huge star, even marrying his beautiful leading lady (Kate Beckinsale). Their adventures lead them to cross paths with drunken costars (Adrien Brody), irreverent unhoused action heroes (Common), unpredictable directors (Jason Sudeikis), a super-agent (Edie Falco), and power-mad moguls (John Malkovich). Fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be, and the two men must fight their way back to the things that matter the most.

Looks great

Looks like Charlie Day channeling his inner Charlie Chaplin almost. Looks unique though, I'll watch. And having Kate Beckinsale in it is a plus

Is Ken gonna melt down and cry over a person with different beliefs than himself?

Day is a talented dude, I’m sure it will turn out ok.

Looks like a lot of fun too - and he called on a lot of his friends to be a part of it. I saw some Sunny people, as well as some of his past movie co-stars.

I got more of a Peter Sellers/Being There vibe

This won't be popular but I can't stand Ken Jeong, he's way too over the top and a touch too fabulous for me. I don't really know why Common gets acting roles but the rest of the cast sounds amazing

Got to work on this one, there is a lot of cameo’s, they tried to fit as many in that trailer as they could it seems. I am curious to see how this one does.

Ken Jeong is legit terrible is almost everything he's ever done. He's a terrible actor, a horribly unfunny person (which sucks since he's mostly in comedies), and apparently a total bitch IRL too.

I can't stand him almost universally, outside of maybe early episodes of Community and the first Hangover movie.

Charlie Day is too nasally for my tastes. I noticed that while listening to the Sunny podcast. I was like - wow this dude speaks like he’s pinching his nose. It’s pretty grating.

Looks like he doesn’t talk in this movie so you should be good to go.
