      Audience Consensus

      Fool's Paradise has a great cast, but none of these stars are enough to cover for the movie's severe shortage of laughs.

      Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Day seems to have nothing new or insightful to add beyond pointing out some heightened caricatures of who you meet in Hollywood. On his way to making his satire, Day forgot to add jokes. Rated: .5/4 May 12, 2023 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast A few funny cameos aside, it’s a lampoon without a rough edge in sight. May 12, 2023 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times You’d need to be Blake Edwards to pull this off. One wishes Day had looked further afield than Hollywood for inspiration. May 11, 2023 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch Fool’s Paradise doesn’t have anything especially sharp to say about the biz — and, in the absence of clever or indeed funny writing, the film’s weak center is exposed. Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Carmen Paddock Screen Queens Fool’s Paradise is not worth the watch for even die-hard Always Sunny fans. Best to live in one’s own fool’s paradise and forget this film exists. Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk The ultimate paradox, sadly, is that what demonstrates the idiocy of Hollywood most clearly of all is the fact that this film was made at all. Rated: 1/5 Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
