It's a comedy starring Zoey Deutch, and in addition to being funny, it brings the issue of illegal debt collection in the United States to the big screen. What's so special about the young Zoe? Remember Marty McPhley, the actor of the movie Back to the Future? Remember The Hollywood actress Lea Thompson who played his mom Roland?
But in the real world, Zoë De District is Leah Thompson's real daughter. Although Zoe has a model-like figure, guess what her greatest talent is? That's right, just like her mother, Rouy is a brilliant comedian, and it's only a matter of time before she emerges from the ranks of young Hollywood actors.
It wasn't until her last film, Zombie Land 2 (Taiwanese translation of "Corpse Paradise: Dirty Fight", Hong Kong translation of "ZombieLand: Serial Corpse Killing"), that Hollywood really figured out how powerful Rouy was. She played a pink-shirted girl in Zombie Land 2 who was emotionally unstable and seemed too stupid to survive a zombie attack — but she survived, you read that right, she did survive.
It seems that Jooy's drama career will gradually be fixed, and her image on the screen can be imagined to be: annoying, noisy, ambitious, rude, optimistic and cheerful, survivors of cruel competition, but sometimes it will suddenly become extremely charming and eye-catching, which is really charming.
Jouy De Zon played Pegger Dahl in "The Fool". Born into a poor single-parent family in south Buffalo, New York, Peg has typical small-town claustrophobia and is tired of wearing her brother's second-hand clothes. She had enough ambition and entrepreneurial talent to decide to leave her home in Buffalo to go out and explore.
The problem, however, is that Peg has both a shrewd business brain and a confused sense of right and wrong. Her mother (Judy Greer) laments that she has done all her best to nurture her daughter's ethics in vain. In short, Peg aspired to attend ivy league business schools from an early age, and then to Wall Street and become the next Buffett. When the fate of the day came, she was admitted to the ideal school, but found that she could not afford the tuition, so she began to get busy: selling cigarettes at school, selling Buffalo spicy chicken wings and ball game scalper tickets.
One day, she received a call from a debt collection group, and Peg realized that the other party was not very good at that job, and she realized with a keen business radar that she could shine in the debt collection world. Like the real-life Molly Bloom, Peg discovers that she has a talent for running illegal poker, and she leaps into the largest underground financial game in the United States: debt collection. And like Jasmine Blue, Peg was arrested and imprisoned, but will she have a conscience because of it? No, Peg has intensified.
One of the reasons the film is set in Buffalo is that the run-down city can be the birthplace of the debt collection industry. Peg learns the essence of debt collection from boss Wiz (Jai Courtney), who is the middle manager of a debt collection group. Following 1992's Tycoon Games, 1995's Gambling Nation, 2015's Big Sell, and 2019's Laundromat (Taiwanese translation of Money Laundering Agency, Hong Kong translation of Money Laundering Paradise Network), we followed Peg to learn how money flows through games and scams. The film depicts a situation in the debt collection world, where viewers are horrified by these crimes that parasitize in the shadows and evade government regulation.
Like Jasmine Blue, Peg later resigned and she assembled a group of marginalized people with sales geniuses, including Mormon missionaries, middle-aged telephone sex workers, and a copy of The Simpson Family's Arp— an Indian-American with a heavy accent who sells his work restaurant.
Peg ended up on the line with former boss Wiez, and of course, we want to see Wiez defeated, and we support Peg because despite her terrible, Wiez is even worse. Allow me to digress a little: there have been many recent examples of this, such as Harley Quinn, the clown girl, who is a bad girl, and her opponent is so bad that we hope she can beat the other person to death with a bat, but violence is not desirable, and this idea of countering violence with violence is harmful to our collective subconscious. Like the example of the clown woman, and with Peg so cute, cheerful, and energetic, we are fascinated by her, as if we had lost our moral judgment standards (sigh).
The actors almost all have a Spit Bulltown accent, presumably after thorough research, the kind audience of Buffalo will be happy to hear it. Another interesting thing is the local pride in Buffalo's spicy chicken wings, which is nationally famous for its cuisine. Peg's presiding judge told her the ultimate secret to making Buffalo spicy chicken wings: buy chicken wings from one place and blue cheese sauce from another. Because it's essentially a rogue story, there are some related plots, such as the furious Pegg chasing Wiez with a large gilded wine bottle, but overall, it's a very satisfying American comedy. The interaction between Jouy De, Judy Grey and Jermaine Fowler, who plays a prosecutor who was supposed to arrest Peg but involuntarily fell in love with her.
As mentioned earlier, Zoe is a comedian to be reckoned with, and in the metaphor of a racing driver, she can push the throttle to the end, dexterously play the stall and use tactics, she is the new driving force in the comedy world. The film is thoughtfully conceived, funny, funny and gives an insight into the world of debt collection beneath the table. The title "Buffaloed" has two meanings: one refers to the background of the story, and the other refers to coercion. Debt collection groups are well known for not only wreaking havoc on Buffalo, but also affecting the safety of the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast. When I hear that my friends have all sorts of debt burdens, and I imagine the collection calls from debt collectors, the self-righteous debt collectors who don't recognize them —I feel immense fear and shame. This cannot go on like this. Much of what is depicted in this film is illegal, or inherently outlawed. "Stupid Egg" has raised public attention to this unique issue in the United States, hoping that while watching this film and laughing, you can also understand the status of your student loans and the real deal behind it.
