Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star

2003-09-041h 38mComedy5.1/10TMDB · 213 votes

TV child star of the '70s, Dickie Roberts is now 35 and parking cars. Craving to regain the spotlight, he auditions for a role of a normal guy, but the director quickly sees he is anything but normal. Desperate to win the part, Dickie hires a family to help him replay his childhood and assume the identity of an average, everyday loser.

“50 million people used to watch him on TV. Now he washes their cars.”

The world, in frames.
