Charlie Day actor writes, directs, and stars in what is a bland, toothless Hollywood satire—and brings just about every friend in Hollywood along for the ride. nschager reviews 'Fool’s Paradise' for beastobsessed:
, Hal Ashby’s 1979 adaptation of Jerzy Kosiński’s novel in which Peter Sellers played a simpleton gardener whose platitudes about horticulture are taken as expressions of wisdom, and who’s consequently swept up by others into a position of political power.
In front of the cameras opposite his castmates Chad Luxt and Christiana Dior , the amateur is perplexed, repeatedly staring directly into the lens. Nonetheless, by naturally following Liotta’s producer’s instruction to “do nothing” , Day’s clown becomes an overnight sensation.

and, on a green-screen set, is pelted by tennis balls fired from a contraption made by a SPFX technician , thereby completing the de facto’s Glenn Howerton, and Day’s best friends are all here, doing the sort of ho-hum schtickiness that’s more pleasant than amusing.
