Johnny Knoxville stars as Coach Morris in Paramount's comedy drama Sweet Dreams.
The Big Picture After debuting in limited theaters last week, Paramount Pictures's new sports dramedy Sweet Dreams is coming to digital platforms very soon. The feel-good film will be available for fans to watch from the comfort of their homes tomorrow, April 16, with Johnny Knoxville starring as an alcoholic father trying to get his life back together at the titular Sweet Dreams recovery center.
Sweet Dreams marks a dramatic turn for Knoxville, who is best known as the co-creator and star of Jackass and boasts roles in other comedies like Bad Grandpa, Action Park, and the Hulu series Reboot. His character, Morris, is determined to beat addiction so he can be the best dad for his daughter, but confronting his troubles is a massive challenge.
In addition to Knoxville, the dramedy features Kate Upton in her first film role since William H. Macy's 2017 rom-com The Layover alongside a stacked comedic roster including Bobby Lee,Jay Mohr, Mo Amer, GaTa, Theo Von, Brian Van Holt, Jonnie Park, Shakewell, Adam Faison, Erik Anthony Gonzalez, and Beth Grant. It also marked the third feature behind the camera for The Peanut Butter Falcon producer Lije Sarki, who directed Sweet Dreams from his own screenplay.
'Sweet Dreams' Was a Deeply Personal Project for Its Stars Sweet Dreams's focus on recovery and redemption, in addition to the comedy, was something that Knoxville said rang true for much of the cast. During a previous conversation with People accompanying the trailer's launch, he said "One of the great things about this movie is that a lot of the actors and a good portion of the crew are all recovering addicts.
