Synopsis
Adopted tells the story of Africa, a continent that has been plagued by despair for hundreds of years. Famine, civil wars, and rampant disease have left the continent without hope, relying on the efforts of Western do-gooders.
These do-gooders initially arrived with food, bibles, and the magic of penicillin. More recently, they have hosted rock concerts and sent plane loads of grain to help Africa. However, in the last decade of the 20th century, a new trend emerged - celebrity adoptions.
First, there was Angelina Jolie, then Madonna, and now...Pauly Shore! The film satirizes the international interest in celebrity adoptions and the debate that surrounds these transactions on both sides of the Atlantic.
Adopted is sometimes politically incorrect and never afraid to tread on manicured toes. It uses comedy to shed light on the complexities and controversies surrounding celebrity adoptions in Africa.
