This movie isn't great, but it's clean and entertaining. The feel of those caught up in the multi-level marketing closely parallels the feel I get from some I know actually involved in such things. The borderline deception, the outright deception, the self-deception and the avoidance of facing reality are pretty well demonstrated. But the acting - almost all of it (except for Mr. Hoppe, who seemed eerily perfect for the part) - was just too "high school drama class" rather than artfully portraying characters, for me. Had the actors taken their roles just a bit more seriously so that the audience could at least believe just a bit more - and therefore care a bit more - this could have been a fun hit movie. The subject matter is familiar - too familiar, in my opinion - to virtually all Americans, so all the elements were there for a good fun comedy. Better luck next time, people!
