Windy City Heat (2003)

When is a movie not a movie? When it's all an elaborate prank, as in the case of the Comedy Central production Windy City Heat (2003). In real life, showbiz hanger-on Perry Caravello is the eccentric (to say the least), high-strung, extraordinarily gullible pal of comics Don Barris and Tony Barbieri, as well as Heat producers Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla and director Bobcat Goldthwait. After more than a decade of nonstop goofing on Perry, his friends pull off a superhumanly huge-scaled ruse in which they convince the frizzy-maned wildman that he's been cast as the lead in a big-budget Hollywood action picture. The extent to which these celebrity goofs carry this joke is awe-inspiring, as is Perry's apparently limitless ability to fall for anything--and to toss hilarious and violently infantile temper tantrums when things don't go his way. Horndogs are advised to watch out for Kitana Baker as a Russian porn star who brings legitimate Heat to this one-of-a-kind explosion of the Candid Camera concept to its most way-out extremes.
