    • 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 like the concept, but execution wasn't quite there

    I saw this because I liked the story, from what I gathered from the trailer. I am also a big fan of Charlie Day. I think the concept is great. A virtual blank slate, adopted by Hollywood, manipulated into benefiting their own needs, and everyone projects their own feelings onto him. I think the execution left quite a bit to be desired though. There was so much more that they could have explored, but it was a bit too silly and nonsensical for its own good. It didn't really go anywhere either. It was more of a "bunch of stuff happens" type of movie, than one with a meaningful narrative. While I wanted to like this, especially considering it's great cast, it fell short of anything exceptionally funny or meaningful. Sorry Charlie.
