Fool's Paradise is written and directed by Day, who also stars in dual roles. Day plays Mr. Pronto, aka Latte, a man recently released from a mental health facility, who finds unexpected fame after filling in for a method actor who refuses to leave his trailer, also portrayed by Day.

With the help of a powerful producer, a down-on-his-luck publicist (Ken Jeong) who discovers Latte helps him become a huge star.

"Their adventures lead them to cross paths with drunken costars, irreverent unhoused action heroes, unpredictable directors, super agent, and power-mad moguls. Fame and fortune are not all they're cracked up to be, and the two men must fight their way back to the things that matter the most," an official synopsis reads.

Ken Jeong, Ray Liotta, Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Common, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco and John Malkovich also star.
