Fool's Paradise
He's ready for his close-up.
Directed by Charlie Day
Produced by Wrigley Pictures, Armory Films
A lighthearted comedy about mistaken identity and the hollowness of fame, driven by playful energy and the unlikely bond between a desperate publicist and an innocent mental health patient.
A down-on-his-luck publicist discovers a recently released mental health patient who looks just like a misbehaving movie star. The publicist subs him into a film, creating a new star. But fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be.
