A passion project from Charlie Day, Fool's Paradise has all the pieces for an interesting exploration of Hollywood, but they never quite come together as well as they should. Our review:
Five years ago, Charlie Day began filming his directorial debut—then known as El Tonto—but as he began to sell the project and as the pandemic hit, he started to have doubts about the film. Day talked about the project with Guillermo del Toro, wrote 27 new pages, and did reshoots in 2021 with several members of the cast. This project would become Fool’s Paradise, in which Day not only writes and directs , but stars in this project that he’s worked on for so long.
Pronto catches the eye of Lenny , a failing publicist who is constantly chugging energy drinks and looking for someone to represent. Lenny takes “Latte” under his wing, and it isn’t long before Latte Pronto is a star, marrying his costar , adopting a bunch of kids, getting invited to Hollywood parties, and becoming the star of the next big superhero film, Mosquito Boy.
