Ok maybe if you were not part of the coupon world back in the day this movie may seem far fetched. I was deep into it and still do it but I use digital coupons now, not paper. There literally was tons of coupon fraud going on and there really was a guy that his life's mission 24/7 was to try and put people in jail for coupon fraud. He would infiltrate the coupon groups, he did whatever he had to to make life hell for couponers. It was actually quite funny thinking back on it, and they definitely nailed the Ken character because that is actually spot on to what I think of when I think back to that guy. Although the one in the movie is fictional, he does remind me of the real life one that was over zealous about coupon use. I enjoyed the movie, light hearted and funny although the part about Ken in the car during a stake out was a little much and not needed but it did show how far this guy was willing to go and I would bet money the real life guy actually would have done that. The dude was crazy. Any of you couponers know who I am talking about. Anyway I enjoyed it and it brought back good memories of when I would coupon and the store would actually owe me money so I would have to add on a candy bar or something so they wouldn't get in trouble for giving money back. Good times! If you want the real life version of what happened watch Pink Collar Crime, episode 6.
