Believe

This is a funny little flick, made in mockumentary style ( alla Spinal Tap and Best of Show. If you have ever been into, or approached by people from Amway or any other MLM, you need to see this movie. It will crack you up, ( or make you mad... This move could be about you :)

This movie is based on a a company called "Believe Industries" and follows some of its MLM'ers as they try to recruit their neighbors. As a local steel mill lays off workers, the MLM'ers pounce on them to show them how they can, "Become independently wealthy in 5 years".

It has some funny stuff about an "ex-Believer" who has an anti-MLM website.It also shows some street interviews about what people think of MLM's, which I think are real people, (not actors).

Funny show, check it out.

I saw this movie at a local film festival and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. Usually, the films I've seen at festivals had something to be desired but I was completely surprised by this one.

I'm not much of an enthusiast for documentary film-making, but this one had a feature-film appeal. The opening scene was so perfectly done that I was captivated and drawn in, wondering what would happen next. The characters appeared very real to me; some were of the genuine down-to-earth type that I couldn't help but feel for them in their dire situations. Others were so fanatical and superficially vain that it made me laugh. Plus, each character's story kept me interested in them all the way to the end.

The pacing couldn't have been better. Each scene was very crisp and kept the pace of the film flowing smoothly. The dialog was real and thought-provoking; even quite hilarious at times. The cinematography was great--resembling how a documentarian would shoot his subjects with lots of closeups, capturing their facial expressions and nervousness. It was very entertaining to watch and just about every scene made me smile or chuckle.

Anyone who has ever been sucked in by an MLM or "get rich quick" scheme should see this film. It will make you a "True Believer," if you know what I mean.

Very funny movie. This movie will make both the MLMer and the non-MLMer laugh out loud. Everyone has been or knows someone who has participated in an MLM venture, and this movie really plays on recognizable traits of MLM people, their actions and styles. The movie plays both sides very well, including those that are against the MLM industry. The actors and Actresses play their parts very well, and are very convincing. The photography and sound was very well done. Every one needs to see this movie. It will become a classic. If you have the chance to see it, I recommend it. This movie is Napolean Dynamite worthy! I would give it two thumbs up, and 4 stars.

This movie does for the MLM industry what Office Space did for corporate America, Spinal Tap did for rock and roll, Zoolander did for modeling, and Napoleon Dynamite did for High School nerds - it exposes the irony, hypocrisy and (in)sincerity involved in direct sales. Some people involved in direct sales will recognize themselves and others in this movie but disagree with the content and how it is presented. Others will see the "business" as depicted in this film and agree with what they see.

There is so much subtle humor in this film that it requires multiple viewings for a thorough appreciation. I found myself laughing so much I missed the next line. If you know anyone involved in one of these businesses you will see them represented in this movie.

If you are looking for light-hearted comedy, humor that builds and funny lines you will remember and use everyday - this is the film. This is an enjoyable and entertaining movie.

It is so funny . . . because it is so true.

I had the pleasure of viewing this movie at a film festival (FYI - it won the Peoples Choice Award). If you love mocumentaries and have been bothered as many times as I have with the variety of scams that masquerade as (MLM) business opportunities, this is the movie for you.

Very light hearted look into the world of Multi-Level-Marketing, following a group of people (very interesting characters) and their experience with Believe Industries. They threw in several interviews with real people (I Believe they are real anyway) that added some very humorous and interesting content. This movie is very unique, I can honestly say I have never viewed another flick that has approached/covered this very funny topic. I will be adding this movie to my DVD collection.
