Wissenswertes
Lead actor Pauly Shore stated in an impromptu interview in an airport by Inside Edition, that he has nothing but respect for Richard Simmons and added that people say that he looks like him and that he really likes him so it was not a difficult choice to play him on film. At the time of this post (1/2024) Richard Simmons reportedly hadn't signed off on a biopic or a feature film about his life and it is not clear if he had seen the biopic yet or will.

The movie would work, but only with another actor

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.
