Holy smokes we need this one. What a fantastic idea for a movie. Casting Pauly as Richard Simmons, it almost seems magical.

[robertk]

This could be Pauly Shore's "Brendan Fraser in The Whale" moment. I'd watch this!

[HearthingTV]

Dear Hollywood, please give us this one. 120 minutes of Pauly Shore absolutely serving as Richard Simmons. Please and thank you.

[redline]

Richard always put a smile on everyone’s face !

[PlaneBelief]

I saw the short and would absolutely go to a theater to see a full length version. I hope it happens.🙂

[jujub]

Richard Simmons is absolutely an icon. He was always a positive, happy, kind, loving person.

[Nephelangelo]

Pauly Shore and Richard Simmons both kick ass. ❤

[adamw]

I am so stoked for a Richard Simmons Movie! Let's go! Let's do it! If anyone could play the role it's Pauly, he is nothing but hart.

[feliza]

The couldn’t have found a better actor to portray Richard Simmons. 🥇👍🏻

[Laerrus]

I really hope this is done tastefully and is respectful to Mr. Simmons. He gave so much of his time and life to help people who really needed it.

[JohnBooker]

Always hoped when this project was created Pauly would get the part. I know he'll present Richard in a respectful and genuine manner. Also, I hope Richard understands how much he did for hundreds of millions of people around the world and that his work and love still resonates today in 2024. He made it possible for the down hearted to feel love and motivated to love themselves. So, here's to Richard, a humanitarian and blessing to the world.

[bcgambit]

That short clip already got me in the feels, this is going to be something very special. Richard Simmons is an icon that helped many people in a time when getting help was seen as weakness.

[ladyrachel]

Richard Simmons is a beautiful person. He really cares about and wants to help them. ❤️

[PlanetPlanetTV]

This looks incredible. We need a movie about Richard and there is no better choice to play the role than Pauly. This already looks like Pauly's greatest performance yet and it's only the short film version. Waay stoked about this.

[Chase_Jones]

The 80's inspired song *Energy* by *Fire* *Tiger* would be epic in this film!

[laurenadcock]

I think he's going to absolutely crush it, this is Pauley's opportunity to be seen as a serious actor. If it's done right, this could be to come back he's waiting for, there could even be an Oscar, not at the end of the road. I'm rooting for him 100%. I want to see him thrive. I also love, Richard, and I hate that he's not on board with the film, but like Pauley said, I hope when he sees how he is portrayed with respect, he will come around and appreciate it.

[booradley]

Short film!? This needs to be a Feature! I need no less than 120 minutes of Pauly as Richard Simmons

[Dilapsor]

Richard Simmons is an incredibly fascinating man and I'm very eager to see how this turns out. I also think Pauly Shore is long overdue for some sort of career revival and I really hope this helps him achieve that.

[KingsleyUwashili-rvpl]

What a fantastic idea for a movie 👍👍👍👍

[inertiaspinner]

In 5th grade my teacher would roll out the tv on the stand and she’d pop in sweating to the oldies vhs and the whole class would workout. That was 35 yrs ago and Mrs. Ash still has a place in my heart. The woman made school fun and she instilled a love of reading within me. Richard Simmons is a symbol of great childhood memories for me and I’m looking forward to this movie. Congratulations Pauly Shore, this is a phenomenal idea and you were born to play this part!
