Love Charlie Day. We had no set expectations and were looking forward to his Directorial Debut. This was not a film we could embrace. All the star power is wasted. We were the only people in the theater opening day hoping against all hope the Critics were wrong. What they say doesn't influence what we choose to see. This time they are spot on. Day's endearing attempt at portraying his character is the only mark it hits. That alone cannot make up for the lack of character depth by his supporting cast. Ken Joeng was more the star of the movie and that still didn't help. His relationship with Latte Pronto is the only semblance of story movement and resolution. At one point my husband asked "When does this movie end?" My reply? "Not even ten minutes after it started." It was that bad. It is with brutal honesty that we both chose to give it a 1. Fool's Paradise is Foolish.
