After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatch an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers.

The real-life Arizona case was likely a lot less funny than Queenpins, which was adapted by the film’s directors and uses the comedic gifts of its lead actresses (reunited from both “Veronica Mars” and “The Good Place”) to remain both outrageous and entertaining without ever abandoning an undercurrent of sadness.

While it’s hardly the funniest film of the year, the based-on-a-true-story couponing antics and thoughtful look at motherhood and grief make Queenpins worth the watch. Read full review

Watching Queenpins is like eating grocery store birthday cake. It is very pleasurable in the moment but likely to leave you feeling empty and a little queasy. Read full review

Writers and directors Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly can’t seem to decided whether to make an offbeat comedy about two under-appreciated women turning to crime or a mismatched buddy cop comedy. So they made both. It’s not a seamless fit. Read full review

The first act of “Queenpins” makes you giddy at the comic possibilities, but the finale is the final straw in the letdown it too-quickly becomes. Read full review

It wants to celebrate the American Dream and the entrepreneurial spirit — while making a statement about consumerism and corporate greed. In the end, Queenpins doesn't really say anything, which would have been fine if it was at least funny. Read full review

A good story lurks somewhere in Queenpins, but Gaudet and Pullapilly take the easy way out at every plot point and with nearly every joke. Read full review

Kristen Bell, downplaying her glam side, plays a bored housewife who spends her days cutting coupons.

She and her bestie (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) decide to turn their hobby into a scam that makes them millions. So far, it’s a solid story, but with the addition of a Loss Prevention Officer (Paul Walter Hauser) things get funny. Hauser continues his string of hapless losers with delightful comic effect. His scenes with Vince Vaughn as the U.S. Postal Inspector provide the movie’s best moments. Considering this is based on real events, it’s interesting to watch how it goes down.… Expand
