Real Fun
21 January 2024
Released in 2021 directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, this one is a real fun watch. The story of two neighbors who are best friend, who make a fortune out of free coupons that they get mailed in from Mexico where the coupons are printed, and selling them through a simple YouTube channel ad. Some of the quotes in the movie, about how family is the most important, and also the relevance of letters to people, is amazing. First time I learnt about US Postal Inspector! FBI is similar to them per that officer! Also loved how the person who was very strict on coupon rules starts bending them a bit by the end. The film is loosely based on the story of Robin Ramirez, Amiko (Amy) Fountain, and Marilyn Johnson who were arrested by the Phoenix Police in 2012. The police found more than $25 million of fake coupons in Ramirez' house and seized more than $2 million worth of assets including 22 assault weapons, 21 vehicles, and a 40-foot boat.
