Adopted (film)

Adopted is a 2009 American independent film starring comedian Pauly Shore. It is a mockumentary in which Pauly plays himself going to Africa to adopt a child, la Madonna and Angelina Jolie. The film marks Shores third turn as a writer, director, and producer.

Pauly follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Madonna, travelling to South Africa to snag himself one of those highly coveted, thirdworld orphans. If that doesnt sound to you like a particularly good idea, well, youd be right The film puts the comedian on a fasttrack to international incident, showing him blundering through the adoption process by, amongst other faux pas, greeting one kid Jackostyle in facemask and rubber gloves, abandoning another on a mountaintop in order to chase after a hot local and, most deathdefying of all, baiting the most fearsome of world powers by trying to crash the Oprah school.The film was shot in South Africa in 2007 while Pauly Shore had been visiting the country. The idea for the film had come to him during the same visit and he had his crew members flown in to shoot the film. He storyboarded the entire film in his hotel room, and a casting agent sent along a few orphans for the shoot. Adopted itself was then filmed within a period of only a few weeks. ........
