Comedy

When a star comedian dies, his comedy team decides to train a 'nobody' to play the Star in a big TV show (a Patsy). But the man chosen, bellboy Stanley Belt (Lewis), can't do anything right. The TV show is getting closer, and Stanley is getting worse.

VIBE

A goofy, good-natured romp where a lovable klutz stumbles his way into the spotlight. Expect pratfalls, escalating chaos, and a surprisingly sweet underdog story that feels like a warm hug from a bygone era.
