Bert Rigby, You're a Fool is a 1989 American musical film directed by Carl Reiner, and starring Robert Lindsay in the title role.

Bert Rigby is a miner in a small dying town of Langmore in northern England, with aspirations to show business.

One day Bert gets an offer from an ad director from Hollywood and flies to the United States with Sid, expecting a great career ... and again leaving behind his pregnant young wife.

Bert then works as a pizza deliveryman, where he encounters a group of thugs, and then as a nightclub comic, where he defends a Hispanic man against a loutish patron.

When Bert is fired from his job as a tree pruner, he is then hired by Perlestein to work as a servant in their house, and to act as a technical advisor to Jim Shirley, a caddish Hollywood star who is playing a Briton in a film.

Bert eventually returns to England in triumph, with a showing of his song-and-dance Crown Royal commercial in the town theatre.

"[2] Anne Bancroft earned a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in the film.
