The Real Thing(2002)

One man, many voices. None of them his own.

The Real Thing is a comedy that stars Al Pacino, Sean Connery, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in their first film together—sort of. Ralph Easton is an overweight social outcast plagued by a severe stutter, the kind of person who gets bullied by everyone around him. But Ralph possesses an extraordinary gift: he can impersonate any major Hollywood celebrity with uncanny precision. He uses this talent as the perfect disguise, allowing him to move through the world without revealing his speech impediment. As Ralph navigates life through his celebrity impressions, he discovers that becoming someone else might be the key to finally fitting in—or it might lead him down an unexpected path. The film blends humor with heart as it explores identity, acceptance, and the lengths people go to escape their circumstances.
