“What’s Love Got To Do With It?” Trailer, Poster Clips and Images

A dynamite cast directed by Shekhar Kapur brings us a rom-com we might enjoy.
What’s Love Got To Do With It? presents an old question: How do you find lasting love in today’s world?

For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe, played by Lily James, swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs. Yet, her eccentric mother, Cath, played by Emma Thompson, shows dismay.

For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbor Kaz, played by Shazad Latif, the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan.

As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger his parents chose, she wonders if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

“Fool’s Paradise” Trailer, Images, Clips and Poster

Charlie Day directs and stars in this satirical comedy about a down-on-his-luck publicist, played by Ken Jeong. He discovers a recently released mental health patient, played by Charlie Day, whom he hopes will reboot his career.

The person with a mental health condition replaces a misbehaving movie star that looks just like him. The publicist substitutes him into the film, creating a new star. Despite the publicist’s decision to name him “Latte,” fame and fortune failed to bring the fulfillment he had hoped for.

Fool’s Paradise has a stellar cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, the late Ray Liotta, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, John Malkovich, Common and Jillian Bel.

Fool’s Paradise may be the late Liotta’s last film since he passed away after the film had wrapped production.

Poking fun at a mental health patient is not very kind and has nothing to do with a story about “anyone” can find success in the film business. The storyline steals from The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.

Let’s find movies that expose the atrocities psychiatrists administer to these poor people in the name of “help.”
