Always Sunny fans will find plenty to love in Charlie Day's directorial debut Fool's Paradise, but the satire has more potential than punch. justbrizigs' review:
, actor and director Charlie Day expressed that he was eager to play a silent character. His instantly recognizable voice—a playful tenor which evokes a friendly Labrador when speaking and can rise to a shrill Eldritch screech at its most played-up—came to define the seminal, rat-bashing character he plays on, the profoundly vulgar and immensely popular FX sitcom that he created and writes for alongside his friends and co-stars Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney.
The Producer has a stubborn, English method actor named Thomas Bingsley on his hands who refuses to leave his trailer to shoot a film, and who also happens to be the dead ringer for the strange, silent little man holding bags of oranges outside The Producer’s car window. So, in a last-ditch effort to save the scene, The Producer enlists the mental patient to replace Thomas.
Day evidently wanted to surround himself with other artists he’s enjoyed working with previously or artists he’s been eager to collaborate with. Most of the cast ofis comprised of former co-stars , actors he’s wanted to work with , and seemingly half of hisstable whom, as he mentioned on “The Always Sunny Podcast,” he was inspired to bring on more of during script rewrites.
Yet despite the preferred collaborators and artistic heroes that Day sought to work with, including somefrays apart in the third act. Latte finds himself wandering through half-realized plot threads with characters played by Common, Benito Martinez and Malkovich, making one wonder how Day got script notes from del Toro but still didn’t quite grasp how to conclude his film.
Still, I’d be first in line to see Day’s next directorial effort, should he choose or be able to embark upon one. He has clear directorial confidence, a solid sense for comedy and a good eye.is a promising start and a genuinely charming film, though undeniably hindered by a shaky grasp on storytelling and character development.
