Cast was great but the premise couldnt keep up with the cast. Story had promise but was not very good. I went because Ray Liotta was in it.

Interesting to watch so many good actors having to portray themselves as bad actors. There was a movie in there somewhere, just not sure we saw it. Lovely scenery

Hilarious. Charlie Day is a genius. And if you're a big fan of Sunny, you'll like it even more

Charlie Day reminded me of Peter Sellers or Steve Martin in this. Was a fun watch.

I was the fool to go see this movie. Worst movie ever. How did they get all those actors to agree to this?

Horrible! Seen a few people leave during movie. A lot of great actors and actresses. Dont know what they seen in the script! Dont pay money to watch at theaters. Got to watch wait til its streaming. Which wont be long if not already.

This is a comedy that to Me isn't funny. I like all of the actors in this but for Me there's not one like-able character out of everyone that has a decent amount of screen time.

Movie was hilarious. It’s a comedy so don’t take it too seriously.

Ouch! That was rough. So many talented actors in this film so I’m not sure what went wrong. But if you watched the trailer…you’ve literally seen all the best parts, it’s a steep downward slope from there.

The film was somewhat predictable, a parody of a mentally disabled patient who has a form of PTSD that has left him mute and non-communicative - but lost in whatever world in which he is dwelling. Since he appears indigent, the hospital puts him on a bus (he has no belongings other than his clothes and derby hat) and he is thrown off the bus in downtown LA. What unfolds afterwards, is a Hollyweird series of events that make him a 'star', but only for a sparkling moment. The real theme is not what you say, but who you are deep inside. Charlie Day does a Chaplinesque rendition of this poor fool who stumbles and bumbles his way to fame. He is then left again as his new film is a bomb. People are caricatures and show their true inner selves to him and he seems to have found that he is no longer wanted, albeit, in his non-verbal communication. Our hearts and senses go out to him. When a down and out publicist needs him, he is there. Actually, it was another character, once a star, then dismissed from the golden realm, and is homeless, awakens something in his inner mind set. The publicist needs him after a medical condition lands him in a hospital. Latte Pronto (Charlie Day) is told the publicist has dies and the wrong body is cremated by a concerned mortician but the publicist is alive! When reunited, he finally realizes that he can speak and does so - with love for another human being, his compassion and empathy brings him back to a world where he can finally say, "I love you, too!" A deep performance by Mr. Day is outstanding - he has learned that not a clown smile, but one from deep within, makes him the epitome of Charles Chaplin's music of the great classic song, "Smile"..It is a joyous ending for the smile is the beginning of his new life! I was fascinated and also felt deep empathy for this character, as the "fool' was not Latte Pronto, but the idiots who have attempted to relate to him - and use and abuse him, but, in a glorious moment the sun has shone for him and he ends up the one who can truly be a human who is smiling. This is not a film to be taken lightly, it is a deep introspective into our fake world and the fake symbols that make one important - but in the end, all you need to do is quietly smile and feel released.
