The Court Jester

When the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat, he borrowed from James Dean. And a voice that came from you and me. An 8-minute story in the moment of the life of someone who treats himself as a nobody, The Court Jester is a depiction of the character Richard Simmons and the power that individual has had on us all. Although not endorsed or supported by the talented and beautiful Richard Simmons, he is portrayed beautifully by the talented and beautiful Pauly Shore. I hope more people watch this short movie as opposed to the tabloid news coverage it has received for the wrong reasons. The Court Jester is a quick watch with good morals. It's everything a short movie should be, and it does deliver. Although we can nitpick production value, casting, and depictions of said characters, the audience should not. Enjoy the story for what it is. An uplifting story that should connect with everyone who has at one point in their lives not liked themselves and knows they should instead love themselves for who they are.
