Ariel Vromen directed 1992 with the screenplay by Sascha Penn and Ariel Vromen based on Penn’s story.

Mercer, played by Tyrese Gibson, tries desperately to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son, played by Christopher A’mmanuel, amidst the turbulent 1992 LA uprising following the Rodney King verdict.

Across town, another father and son, played by Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood, put their strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist at the factory where Mercer works.

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

comedy, , ,

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.”
