Trivia
Filmed in 2018, this is one of Ray Liotta's last films, before his death in 2022.

Goofs
When Lenny takes Latte back to his motel room, he walks down the row of rooms and when he reaches room 3, he points and explains that that is his room. When the shot changes from inside the room, as he opens the door you can clearly see the number 7 on the door. Room 7 was at the top of the row of rooms, which they already passed.

I love Charlie day but this was not it.

Just to be clear Charlie Day is among my favourite comedic actors ever, IASIP is a masterpiece. For that reason I had extremely high hopes for Fool' Paradise, however my rating of 7 is generous. Fool's paradise slightly misses the mark with concept, does not have enough laughs (most coming from Adrien Brody) and it felt clear that the ending was written years after the body of the script. Charlie Day was funny but not nearly expressive enough for a silent character, 90% of the time he was showing just confusion. This film was carried by an amazing cast who all delivered excellent performances and Charlie Day's direction which was smooth and shows clear potential. Overall it was a lacking script but I 1000% would watch another film written and directed by Charlie Day as there were obvious signs of potential.
