Extremely manipulative. Don't get fooled.

Warning: Spoilers
There are a couple of instances in the movie where it seems that people are being evicted because of circumstances beyond their control - such as is the case of the elderly man. The other characters, however, they had PLENTY of time to bail themselves out, and did not choose to do so. They repeatedly ignored the warnings and went about their business and some of them even hired attorneys despite knowing the consequences.

The producers, actors, and everyone involved in this movie wants to make it seem like the banks are the real issue here. The banks are not the issue here. Deadbeat people are.

As for the plot itself. Why did the father not relocate his family to another motel after he began getting harassed by one of the men he kicked out of their homes? Ridiculous! So unbelievable. It made me angry. What a stupid move. What a stupid man. All he had to have done was moved his family to another motel. Instead, he behaves like a scared little baby without a brain.

And the redheaded ginger man, who was harassing Dennis, why did they portray him as such an angry man when he brought all of this upon himself? I guess that's just part of how the movie wants to manipulate you. Think about it, what was this big baby of a man doing the whole time that he was receiving these notices, picking his nose?

Most of the people getting evicted are just rebellious. Idiots who brought it on themselves. But the movie wants you to think that the banking industry is responsible for all of these heartaches. Nonsense.

The first time I watched the movie I thought it was great. The second time I watched it I saw the plot holes in the manipulation. I won't be watching it again don't get fooled by this manipulative rubbish.
