8/10 - similar in style to fellow STX film, Hustlers, this female-led story ripped from real life is utterly engrossing, well-executed, and while not perfect, makes for an enjoyable two hours (and a desire to get more into couponing)

Fun, comedic take on a crime movie

If you're looking for a crime movie that's completely unserious, this movie fits the bill. It follows two women who create a coupon scam and get rich. Overall, I think it does a pretty good job of combining the comedy with the more serious crime topic. The whole thing is lighthearted, but it also provides a decent demonstration of white collar crime.

I will say it's a fairly forgettable movie- more so something to pass the time than anything really great. Some of the jokes just don't land at all, and a few of the characters just feel... weird. But overall, it's still enjoyable and a pretty good time.

Very Funny, Well Acted and Upbeat

This has got to be one of best films I have seen during the Pandemic...in a time when comedies are few, this was a pleasant surprize. And the fact it was based on a true story makes it a very funny slice of life.

What fun!

This one turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I had liked the trailer basically the plot but was expecting it to be just ok. But the tight script, good execution and editing makes it worthwhile. Kristen and Kirby get it right in each scene in the movie and Vince Vaughn though with limited screen time does a great job as well.

More entertaining than I expected.

Aside from the many poor attempts at humor, there still were a few LOL moments. The writing needed to be more consistent and tighter, with better character development. The directing was decent and the score on point. The 110 min runtime and pacing were spot-on. But it was the stellar casting and their performances that elevated this "based on true events" interesting af comedy. Kristen Bell shined as the coupon queen, and Paul Walter Hauser nailed his role. I wanted to see more of Vince Vaughn though. Nevertheless, still enjoyable and a recommended watch. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

Trivia
This is based on the true story of three women: Robin Ramirez, Marilyn Johnson, and Amiko "Amy" Fountain. The details were first revealed after a Tuesday morning raid in July 2012 by the Phoenix Arizona Police Department. Included in the seizures were $25,000,000 worth of fake coupons, 22 assault weapons, and 21 vehicles including a 40 foot boat.

In February 2013, all three women pleaded guilty. Fountain and Johnson each pleaded guilty to one charge of counterfeiting. Ramirez pleaded guilty to counterfeiting, fraud, and illegal control of an enterprise. Ramirez was sentenced to 24 months in prison and seven years of probation. They were also ordered to pay Proctor & Gamble more than $1.2 million.

Goofs
The postal inspector tells Connie it's 1 year for every $100,000 earned fraudulently and that she's looking at 40 years. In a later scene, another postal service worker says they stole 40 million in counterfeit coupons. $100,000 x 40 is 4 million not 40 million. (Edit: The inspector actually says 40 to life, which would be correct since 400 years would be to life)

Quotes
Woman on Plane: Hey sorry, uhm, would you mind if we switched seats, just for this last part? She really likes to watch out the window as we land and it helps calm her down.
Ken: Yeah no, even if I wanted to switch, I think it's more important that your daughter learn a valuable lesson. That's not how the world works y'know. You don't always get your way.
