What's interesting about Chicken Little is that it had an element of Hollywood satire in it that was forgotten by most. Let's amp that up. Here's the synopsis: Chicken Little is a small but well-liked high-school senior, when on the night of his high-school prom, he warns the sky is falling, causing a massive car pile-up, and countless injuries. Killing his social reputation and facing multi-million dollar lawsuits, the Cluck family sell the rights to Chicken Little's experiences to a sly Hollywood producer to keep their livelihoods. Cut to one year later: Chicken Little's life is ruined, every college he applied to has revoked his acceptance and he's now stuck at home with his single mother working at a convenience store. However, that movie about the "sky is falling" incident has been fast-tracked and the film's star Ramy Youssef has come into town to do a PR stunt where he lives with the Clucks during the film's promotion. But when Chicken Little gets that paranoid feeling again, his heart sinks. Still, how could his life get any worse?
