When a gang of film-star look-alikes decide to try and con a Hollywood producer into financing their bogus blockbuster movie, they know it's the biggest gamble of their lives but looking like the biggest flange of film-stars ever assembled to make a movie, has got to help.
'The Great Hollywood Double Hustle' invites you into the curious world of a desperate gang of film-star look-alikes who are prepared to risk everything to escape, what they consider to be, their dysfunctional Doppelgänger fate; one where, in their opinion, they only get the sh*t end of the celebrity stick and not the better end, that is generally nicer to hold.
Prepared to take on the predatory Hollywood producers and unscrupulous agents that stand in their way, they aren’t quite so well prepared, when their financial backer, a low-life porn-producer with an axe to grind against the Hollywood machine, also transpires to be an untrustworthy scumbag who is, by his own admission, “About as reliable as a chocolate teapot at an orgy. Great at getting the party started but two minutes later, everyone just looks like they took a mid-sex dump.”
It doesn't help the group dynamic that their Brad Pitt look-alike egotistically believes that he is far more attractive than his real star counter-part and even worse, he is probably right and it doesn’t make life easier for any of them that their George Clooney look-alike; a farmers son from the Welsh valleys, looks exactly like the real Hollywood star but unfortunately, can only sound like a farmers son from the Welsh valleys.
For their leader Danny, none of these problems are insurmountable but what scares him most and makes him suffer from, what I shall euphemistically call, an extreme form of 'chocolate-teapot syndrome', is the fact that, if it all goes wrong, they will all go to prison for a very long time or, as George would more descriptively put it, "Be as b*ggered as a sheep on market day, isn’t it boyo?”
Look no further for your laugh-out-loud beach book this summer, THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD DOUBLE HUSTLE is a laugh-a-minute look-alike winner!
