Pauly Shore on Adopted

Pauly Shore is back at it and, as with his previous mockumentary, Pauly Shore is Dead, still on a quest to see if there's life after the Weasel. In the similarly self-directed Adopted -- which is being released on home video on June 15th -- Pauly follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Madonna, travelling to South Africa to snag himself one of those highly coveted, third-world orphans. If that doesn't sound to you like a particularly good idea, well, you'd be right: The film puts the comedian on a fast-track to international incident, showing him blundering through the adoption process by, amongst other faux pas, greeting one kid Jacko-style in facemask and rubber gloves, abandoning another on a mountaintop in order to chase after a hot local and, most death-defying of all, baiting the most fearsome of world powers by trying to crash the Oprah school.

Pauly managed to survive his adventure, though, and unlike his impetuous screen-self was rather more sedate in conversation. Then again, when you have a man-mountain of a body guard stationed outside your hotel room door, maybe acting-out drops down on your list of priorities.
