Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is based on the true story of three women: Robin Ramirez, Marilyn Johnson, and Amiko "Amy" Fountain. The details were first revealed after a Tuesday morning raid in July 2012 by the Phoenix Arizona Police Department. Included in the seizures were $25,000,000 worth of fake coupons, 22 assault weapons, and 21 vehicles including a 40 foot boat.
In February 2013, all three women pleaded guilty. Fountain and Johnson each pleaded guilty to one charge of counterfeiting. Ramirez pleaded guilty to counterfeiting, fraud, and illegal control of an enterprise. Ramirez was sentenced to 24 months in prison and seven years of probation. They were also ordered to pay Proctor & Gamble more than $1.2 million.
- GoofsThe postal inspector tells Connie it's 1 year for every $100,000 earned fraudulently and that she's looking at 40 years. In a later scene, another postal service worker says they stole 40 million in counterfeit coupons. $100,000 x 40 is 4 million not 40 million. (Edit: The inspector actually says 40 to life, which would be correct since 400 years would be to life)
- Quotes
Woman on Plane: Hey sorry, uhm, would you mind if we switched seats, just for this last part? She really likes to watch out the window as we land and it helps calm her down.
Ken: Yeah no, even if I wanted to switch, I think it's more important that your daughter learn a valuable lesson. That's not how the world works y'know. You don't always get your way.
[Resumes eating snacks and looking out the window]

Featured review
Y'all sleeping on this!
Unique plot, based on real events, funny, character development, Queenpins has got it all! I am surprised I liked the movie so much, liked it more after I read about the OG Queenpins and how the movie has kept the essence of the real story. The movie is factual so it isn't riddled with goofs and at the same time, the jokes don't seem forced. Kristen Bell (Connie Kaminski) has my heart, she played her character so well and I sided with the devil for her. They truly did a great job of making her look different than all the characters she usually plays.
While idk if coupons are still used today, this plot makes for a great story and an even greater movie. It has something unique it brings to the table and will keep you entertained throughout. The movie also lets you explore a range of emotions as it touches on topics from marriage troubles, the American dream, loneliness, identity fraud, and much more.
