10 Worst Movies Of 2023 (So Far)
7. Fool's Paradise
Charlie Day's directorial debut Fool's Paradise - previously entitled El Tonto - began shooting in October 2018, which doesn't set the most encouraging expectations out of the gate.
Indeed, it's had a rough journey to the big screen, with Day carrying out a week of reshoots in late 2021 - a whole three years after it first wrapped shooting.
Unsurprisingly said reshoots haven't salvaged this abject mess of a Hollywood satire - a scarcely comprehensible Mad Libs farce in which Day's mute protagonist, Latte Pronto, suddenly scores a movie career due to his uncanny resemblance to a difficult method actor.
What might've been cute as a short-form project becomes insufferable at feature-length, unaided by a never-more-irritating Ken Jeong as Latte's publicist.
Though Day's film rocks an impressive line-up of his actor friends - including but not limited to Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, Jason Bateman, Common, Ray Liotta, John Malkovich, and Glenn Howerton - the cameo carousel isn't worth the exhaustion of sitting through the whole thing.
