I'll Believe You

In the intriguing film I’ll Believe You, directed by Paul Francis Sullivan, we find ourselves immersed in the life of Dale Sweeney, a character portrayed by David Alan Basche. As the host of an AM radio show dedicated to conspiracy theories and the paranormal, Dale’s audience primarily consists of quirky, half-awake locals eager to share their wild UFO sightings. This unconventional show has garnered little popularity, and with the looming threat of cancellation, Dale’s situation appears dire.

However, just before the final broadcast, an unusual phone call interrupts the usual programming flow. The caller speaks in a frantic and incomprehensible language, sparking curiosity and concern in Dale. The next day, everything changes when two federal agents visit him, taking a keen interest in one recent UFO sighting. This unexpected attention leads Dale to a surprising conclusion: perhaps the mysterious caller was an extraterrestrial being, disoriented and lost within the confines of his small town.

In a thrilling twist, Dale decides to dive into this unfolding mystery during his broadcasts, and his bold choice unexpectedly quadruples his audience. What unfolds next is a delightful blend of comedy and adventure, as Dale rallies local townsfolk to join him in a collective quest to hunt for this alien being. The film features a talented cast, including the likes of Patrick Warburton, Fred Willard, Chris Elliot, Ed Helms, Mo Rocca, and Siobhan Fallon Hogan, all of whom add their own flair to the already vibrant narrative.

As Dale and his eclectic group of listeners embark on this quest, we witness a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, reflecting on themes of community and belief. With a backdrop of late-night radio, I’ll Believe You explores what it means to connect with others through shared curiosity and the wonders of the unknown. This film promises a whimsical experience that entertains while also stirring the imagination.
