Connie (Kristen Bell) is an ex Olympic athlete in a loveless marriage who enjoys taking part in the activity of extreme couponing. Her neighbour JoJo (Kirby) has a terrible credit history, lives with her mum and is trying to build a YouTube brand around coupon and bargain advice. Together they will create a million dollar coupon fraud scam. 

Queenpins is only saved from total ignominy by the late pairing of Paul Walter Hauser’s Loss Prevention Officer and Vince Vaughn’s Postal Inspector who join forces as an odd couple to bring down the coupon scam. 

Otherwise this is a total snooze fest of a “comedy” film. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of it is that it tells us right from the start it is based on a true story but literally every single part of the story is changed. Post my incredibly uneventful film watching experience I thought I would look at what the ex-Olympic athlete was doing now only to find out that the only aspect of the story that is true is that three women (not two) did at one point do a coupon scam. Literally everything else is different. Why they did it. How they did it. How they were caught. Everything. So my question then is why is this so bad if they had free rein to write whatever they wanted? 

The film has the talent. Kristen Bell, Joel McHale, Stephen Root, Annie Mumolo, Paul Walter-Hauser and Vince Vaughn all have great comedic talent. Yet it is only when the latter two are paired together in the second half of the film that there any semblance of laughs. And when the best comedic moment in a comedy film is an extended toilet humour joke you know you are in trouble. 

The direction and production values are also completely bland and the whole thing feels as though you are watching a sitcom. 

Avoid.
