I'd love to watch a Richard Simmons biopic that would leave me crying and cheering at the end, but I don't know if a biopic with Paulie Shore would be it. I've read in a number of different places that Paulie is a good look-alike of Richard, but I don't see it. The face is the biggest distraction -- it doesn't have Richard's warm, humor, love and engagement. And the voice isn't warm and inviting either. I want a movie like this to work, and I think a heartfelt biopic about Richard Simmons would be warmly received by the public. But it would need a different leading actor. The Court Jester is bound to start an interesting discussion, though, so it's got that going for it.
