“You got 10 guys that need this place.” Paramount has revealed an official trailer for a sports comedy called Sweet Dreams, a new film directed by the producer of sleeper hit The Peanut Butter Falcon previously. Opening in theaters in April this spring to enjoy. This fresh new comedy is a wild journey of second chances. Forced into rehab, Morris agrees to coach a misfit softball team of recovering addicts from his own house to prove that everyone, despite their past, can hit a home run. And maybe he will get his own life back on track, too.
Johnny Knoxville stars as Morris, with an ensemble cast featuring Mo Amer, GaTa, Bobby Lee, Theo Von, Brian Van Holt, Jonnie Park, Shakewell, Adam Faison, plus Jay Mohr & Kate Upton. This doesn’t look like it has the most original script, but it still does seem quite wholesome and amusing in an obnoxiously entertaining way.
This trailer comes across much more sentimental than all-out humorous.
Johnny Knoxville, Mo Amer, Theo Von, and Kate Upton unite in this wild & off-the-wall journey of second chances from the producer of The Peanut Butter Falcon. Forced into rehab at Sweet Dreams recovery center, Morris (Knoxville) struggles to confront the wreckage of his life. But when their house goes up for auction, he reluctantly agrees to coach their misfit softball team of recovering addicts to win a cash prize and prove that everyone, despite their past, can hit a home run. Sweet Dreams is written and directed by American indie producer / filmmaker Lije Sarki, director of the film Concrete Kids and a few other shorts, and a producer on The Peanut Butter Falcon, The Line, and many other films previously. It’s produced by Robert Ogden Barnum, Ari Basile, Lucas Jarach, and Lije Sarki. Paramount Pictures opens Sweet Dreams in select US theaters on April 12th, 2024, then on VOD starting on April 16th this spring.
