Zoey Deutch in Buffaloed (2019)
Buffalo is the debt collection capital of America, though Peg Dahl never saw herself in that world. She's bet on her sharp mind, and even sharper mouth, to get her out of town and into an Ivy League university. But when an acceptance letter to the school of her dreams arrives, she quickly realizes the cruel impossibility of paying tuition. A chance phone call changes everything and leads her into the lucrative yet complex and shady business of delinquent debt collection. She's a natural and soon running her own shop, but at what cost?

    A different underdog story

    This film is quite entertaining, as it is a different kind of underdog story mixed with romantic comedy elements. The story is quite engaging. I enjoyed watching it.

    a unique and fun movie

    The acting and story line here were great. A great cast and kept me laughing the whole time.

    almost starts to take off and then crashes

    Yet another low-budget quirky project in which Deutch is not only the best thing in the movie, but is invariably the only thing worth watching in the movie. The key is Brian Sacca's script which starts off cleverly and genuinely builds interest, then about halfway through crashes and burns horribly. The irony of a Canadian production company pretending to honor Buffalo is best left for Guinness to consider. as an award category

    Good Start But Finishing?

    Enjoyed the acting; subject matter; spoofing of Buffalo. Started interesting, but about half way it just plateaued & felt too contrived. Central character never really developed a moral hook for me. The credits mentioned $13 trillion National Debt w/medical & student listed as most prevalent. Those numbers are for 2018, now the National Debt (mid 2020) is $25 trillion (and growing), and for consumer debt (movie listed 71 million people, but now 137 million). It's largely home payments followed by medical then student & car & credit card. Paying it all off (half is owned by foreign interests) is left to future generations courtesy of Trump (in part Covid necessary; in part tax breaks for wealthy; in part for re-election).

    Awful. And why am I not suprised that the nine and ten star reviews here are by accounts whose only acticityis this single review?

    What a mess. Not dramatic, not funny, not interesting. In fact it looks like more energy and talent was put into attempting to shill ratings of this dog up than the talent put into writing it.

    • Trivia
      Most of the suits Peg wears were purchased at Goodwill.
    • Goofs
      Peg's second arrest booking number has the same digits as her first booking photograph, but rearranged. It seems the prop person just scrambled the numerals for the second scene, ignoring the fact that most booking numbers are sequential. In other words, police departments will just add one each time a new person is booked. As a result, the difference between the two numbers is nearly four million bookings over a period of about four years in a city of under 300,000 people. Not even Buffalo could be THAT bad.
    • Quotes

      [in a slide presentation to her mom]

      Young Peg: Buffalo, New York. The epicentre of the rust belt. A city whose favorite meal is a discarded chicken part. A city hopelessly dedicated to a staple of disappointment.
