Adopted is a 2009 American independent mockumentary film starring comedian Pauly Shore as himself, "going to Africa to adopt a child, à la Madonna and Angelina Jolie.

According to Dan Persons of HuffPost,[2] Pauly follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Madonna, travelling to South Africa to snag himself one of those highly coveted, third-world orphans.

If that doesn't sound to you like a particularly good idea, well, you'd be right: The film puts the comedian on a fast-track to international incident, showing him blundering through the adoption process by, amongst other faux pas, greeting one kid Jacko-style in facemask and rubber gloves, abandoning another on a mountaintop in order to chase after a hot local and, most death-defying of all, baiting the most fearsome of world powers by trying to crash the Oprah school.The film was shot in South Africa in 2007 while Pauly Shore had been visiting the country.

He "storyboarded the entire film in his hotel room, and a casting agent sent along a few “orphans” for the shoot."
